Just run a switch off your A/C fan relay. That's what I did. Flipping the switch grounds the relay and turns the fan on.

There is a code for it. I forget, something like a P0118? Coolant temp below threshold or some shit like that. I got it a few times.

P0128. My wife's car just threw it last night running a 180*F t-stat (lovely MI winters keeping the engine cool long enough to throw the DTC). It annoyed me to the point where I put her stock 195 back in for the rest of the winter (this is the second time in a few months she's thrown the code. First time was due to a "Failsafe" t-stat getting stuck open).
