The basics of it are here. The location of the connector with the blue and green wires in it will likely be closer to the pcm on your 1994. Look by the bottom of the hood strut mount. You can probably get by with snap splice connectors instead of soldering.

Don't know what you're looking to spend, but I think I'm going to fork over the $60.00 and buy the SLP manual fan switch. I'm not good with wiring, and this thing's pretty much plug and play. Plus, its a three way switch-High Speed, Stock, Low Speed. I might go pick one up from them tomorrow.

No need really for the switch. Just heard some people had them and liked them. I'll go with the pcm adjustment. What's a goo temp. to have them come on? With a stock thermo and a 160. I use both.

Your sig says you have pcmforless tuning. Are your fan temps already altered?

Nope. You can read the installation instructions on their website. Plug it into the one of the wiring harnesses, then run it through the firewall, and mount it in the desired place.

No, www.slponline.com do a description search on switch, then pick the f-body one, instructions are there.

I made a switch using Shoebox's diagram....works great and the car doesn't have to be running for the fans to be on. I like it especially since the headers are going in, it will keep the underhood temps down more. Total cost $12.00 for switch, diodes, resistors, leds. I already had wire, solder, etc.
I put the resistors and diodes right on the back of the switch so when I take the panel out, everything comes out with it....
