The Amazon vehicle selector feature says otherwise, but its been wrong before. Not looking forward to spending $50 (what I was quoted at an auto parts store) on a part I could get off amazon for $10. I haven't pulled the fan switch out of the rad yet, so I don't know what it looks like. I would prefer to have the part I need before I start draining coolant, ya know?

Unfortunately, that isn’t the one you’re looking for. I’m not the owner of a AL25 Tercel (4wd) but I’m pretty sure you’re looking for a BeckArnley 201-1291, Toyota part number 89428-15030.
Do not be afraid of sudden fear nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; For the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:25-26

I was revving the car up to drive through a snowbank today, stopped, got out, and low and behold the fan was running again.

The day that it wasn't working was very wet, so the terminals must have shorted out or something.

I guess I no longer need the switch. :lol: Love it when the car fixes itself.
