Subject:Re: High Speed Fan

In 86+ models with A/C there are 3 radiator fan speeds. If you pulled
fuse #1 and relay #5 then the low speed is half disabled and medium is
completely disabled. Low speed can still be turned on by the A/C switch.
High speed is controlled by the radiator temp switch turning on the
hidden high speed relay. If it really is the highest speed that is on,
pull that hidden relay. Drop the fuse panel down. Push the driver's side
dash end square defroster vent up and out. Shine a light in there and
look in the hole. The relay holder is screwed to the body below the left
end of the windshield. It has large red wires to it. Reach up from below
and pull the relay up out of the holder.
