So my question is:ÃÂ Does a Zetec have a rad fan switch in the rad/t-stat housing?ÃÂ Or shoul I run some jumpers to the rad fan motor to check if that works?ÃÂ I am going up north of Huntsville this weekend and I would hate to have a failure of some sort.ÃÂ Any input that can be provided would be greatly apprecated?
