On the Eco, the switch was just prior the t-stat. What is the factory location? One caution, up high is good but not so high that if it ran a little low of coolant, you wouldnt know it was cooking. I went through a whole air pocket headache with mine in the factory spot because it was impossible to get bled past the t-stat.

If you havent already, look into the variable fan controllers. They usually include sender and ey'ting you need. What I thought was the shizz is the soft start and faster as you need it function. I never got around to upgrading to one. When my fans kicked on, it put a serious hurt on the electrics and made the Eco skip a beat. The soft start takes care of that.

Keep plugging away! I have to live vicariously through your project for the time being.
