A word of advice is, when you find the correct wire make sure you use a relay so you dont burn up your wire or keep blowing fuses.

BTW you can find out which wires to use if you have an Ohm meter.

I heard you could use a paperclip to make the fan always on... and you are right i should be getting an ohm meter.

On the top of your thermostat housing there is a 2 pin plug, this is the fan switch. Put a paperclip in there and it will make your cooling fan turn on everytime you turn the key to the on position. Yes it is ok to do this, I have my gf's car like this.

No way, you pull that thing apart and cut out the little piece inside that stops the one wire so you can actually put two wires into it the whole way. Works like a charm.

ahh, I guess that would work, however little blue connectors in your engine bay gives off that real "aftermarket hack/job" look.
