Ok so I have a 1993 coupe. DOHC, no A/C. Short background, the car used to be a low 12 second KA-T car before I got it. The people I got it from just threw a spare KA in when they decided to sell it. Two issues that are perplexing me. Issue #1: It has an electric fan...except...one wire is hooked up and one is not so it doesn't turn on. If the disconnected wire touches a ground, the fan turns on so I'm guessing thats the ground wire but thats even if the car is turned off. WTF am I supposed to do with that wire?

Issue #2: My car doesn't have constant power! Whenever the car is on, everything works fine (i.e. radio, interior lights, etc) however if I turn the car off, I have no power. (radio doesn't work, no interior lights, always resets the clock). What could this even be? Am I just missing a fuse or a relay somewhere or what? Brake lights, headlights etc all work.

your fan sounds like it is wired directly to the batt.

you should look into an elec. fan controller.

They ran the ground side through a switch more than likely to turn it on when needed. As for the other problem, there's no telling what they've done. Get an FSM ans start tracing circuits.
