Mainly lurking, just passing through. Still enjoying reading about everyone's progress.
Looking forward to getting the fuel system back in and seeing if we can get it up and running before pulling everything apart again!

That looks similar to the new fan control switch Toby and Misty sell trough DPNW. I bought one earlier this season after going through 3 otterstats in 3 years (I blame the wildly varying temperatures in this climate) It's not the same unit (or was modified from original) with a lead that long.....stock is maybe a bit longer than a foot. Of course, their unit is meant to be mounted in the engine compartment...This appears to be some sort of custom fan control relay. The larger controller appears to be a temp sensor, since there is a lead running into the coolant pipe from it.
Is there a control knob on the side we can't see? On the DPNW part you can adjust what temperature you want the fans to come on.
With that wiring mess, I would consider buying a new harness from DMCH. You will never know how many things the PO did.
I was lucky on my drive home when I bought my car but the PO had been driving it once a month. But I knew nothing about the car on that 250 mile drive home.

At this rate, the fuel system won't be going back in any time soon. I need a new cover plate for the tank first.
Yeah, there's an adjustment knob on the other side. From the looks of the engine bay, the PO tried to rig up an alternative solution to fan control before settling on this one.
That's exactly what I am going to do. It's not worth the many hours it will take me to trace down every circuit and fix whatever was done. The main harness alone is $600, so I will be doing that part slowly.
