I finally did use my multimeter and started probing possible wires to tap for the "signal" wire to my relay.
I found one. It is designated as the relay for the MLT CTL on the fuse box, the red and blue wire only has power when key is put in Accessory position and engine is on, off every other time.
I'll be running a temp gauge to see how hot it gets in my engine back...maybe I can compare my results with some of you stock guys.
Running dual 14" fans, fit perfectly. I can see why Lextreme (David) said 15-16" fans would be pushing it and had to chop them up. So far, I did notice an increase in performance, and the engine bay does seem a lot cooler than before. I only did this mod because I did not want to shell out the dough for a fan clutch (mine was wobbling), plus I noticed that the fan clutch and stock fan are HEAVY!!!!
