2. After much reading, after you install the new fan there is one final step. You have to turn the A/C on to trigger the radiator fan to come on (the radiator fan is on anytime the AC is on). This completes the the circuit or tells the car there's a new fan. After the AC was turned back off the fan cycles on and off as it should depending on coolant temps.

Unbelievable that it is so hard to find simple instructions on such a simple part to replace.
Great job and thanks very very much for coming back with this update.

At the end of it all then, the fan you bought that saved a ton actually works and it's a direct swap (other than the "coding", sort of speak...), right?
