Most of those Jap cars use a Thermal ground switch that
attaches to the engine or radiator, it looks like a sending units that
screws in to the water jacket with 1 wire
coming of it.
When a preset temp. is reached the switch completes the circuit to ground
and turns on the cooling fan,
you can bypass the switch by removing the wire and connecting it directly to
ground.
The cooling fan will run when the ignition is turned on.
