So I bought a switch today and was testing it from different points, then suddenly I realized, my car had a n AC system that I took out, but it still has the harness. Here is the FSM diagram. Why don't I just use the AC harness for access to power for the radiator fan!?

Basically, the underhood consenser fan relay controlled the condenser fan. I could maybe get power there, and use the AC switch as my fan switch? Hmmm... That does not seem correct.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
