Anyone got a fan wiring diagram for a 98 LS car? Someone wired up a switch for the fans using the headlight relay terminals in the fuse box... not sure why.. but I'd like to get everything functioning like factory.

Thanks man. After looking a little closer after I got the car here in FL, I noticed that nothing was cut or hurt. They just pulled the relay and put some spade terminals in there to hook up a switch on the Fan #2 spot. I put in a new relay, everything works fine.
My only obstacle now is trying to figure out how to get these damn Hella 60mm projectors and brackets installed. If I leave the spring attached to the bracket, it pulls it back too much. If I don't attach it, it'll fall off.. Got some bolts from Home Depot yesterday. Gonna bolt it in on all three spots.. haha.

Nice car man. I think you just made up my mind to put drag wheels on my car... Lol.
Mine looks way better in the pics than it does in person. The paint is cracked on the front bumper, it's dirty, the window motors are shot, the hatch struts are shot, the hatch needs to be painted (or I go get the factory hatch for it), need to replace my seats, it needs a tune... Lol. That's just what I've noticed so far.

Soo... Looks like plans are changing once again. Had a conversation with the wife asking her which vehicle suits me better, and she chose my truck...
With that said, the car will probably be going up for sale in order to fund my turbo Silverado build.
I just don't have any clue what this thing is worth. I was checking it out more today and noticed that the body is in really good shape aside from a cracked front fender and some spider cracks in the paint on the nose. Other than that, it just needs some cleaning up on the outside and the wing painted.
How much would you guys think I could get for this car? I'm located in Tampa, and it seems like muscle cars sell pretty well down here.
1998 Formula Hard Top----5.3 SWAPPED----NOT LS1
-226k miles on body ~140k on engine(clean as a whistle inside)
-4L60E with stock converter (have a T56 I could toss in for the right deal)
-No Catalytic Converters
-Flowmaster Cat-back with rectangle Z28 tips (not sure why)
-17x9.5 ZR1 Wheels w/275-40-17s
-New Radiator
-Spohn solid engine mounts
-Racetronix Fuel Pump and Hotwire kit (new in box)
Needs some interior work. I'll take care of some of it before its sold though.
I'd appreciate some ballpark estimates on what you guys think its worth if you have the time. I'm gonna link this thread on the "Whats it worth" section as well.
Thanks,
Derek

In the words of my wife "You keep talking about wanting a vehicle that no one expects to be fast, yet you go and buy the most aggressive looking car you can find..."
I guess she's right. So, I'm gonna get rid of the car and start on my truck. No one would ever accuse this thing of being fast... My only exterior plans for it are a 2/4 drop, black Cragar Soft 8s in 17x9, bull bar, and white bumper cap and door handles. People might think i'm a cop with the bull bar on a white truck... lmao. I have some bigger plans for the interior... now, where can I find a wrecked Escalade or Denali... lol.
Anyways, here's a few pics of the truck. It's a BONE STOCK 4.3/Auto, bare bones minimum optioned work truck. This thing couldn't have any less options aside from AC. Weighs 4500lbs with 2-12s behind the seat, all aftermarket speakers, and a full tank of gas. I'll start a thread on it after I get back from my deployment. And before anyone mentions it... yes, I know it has 2 different mirrors.
Oh, and the gas door sticker mod adds like 35hp... just saying...
