I purchased a fan wiring kit, complete with t stat, from advance auto parts for around 12 bucks. It also included a wire that ran to the AC low pressure switch.

I looked there but they in there infinite wisdom had no clue what I was talking about and said it won't work, then we don't carry that! I wish they would stop hiring teenagers that know nothing about cars( except maybe rice burners) and get some experienced people in there! And that's all the auto parts stores around here!

Let me say your a rarity and I would be happy to have you wrench next to me! My point was that the auto parts stores around here seem to hire only morons, I know there're a lot of young guys that probably know more than me out there, heck I'm still learning myself!

Auto parts stores around me are the same. I cant get hired at em because I'm "overqualified". I'm an unemployed plumber going back to school for diesel mechanics and I'm overqualified? Give me a motherflockin break.

I'm the same exact way, 20 years old and never send a vehicle to any shop. I love going to a parts store and see some new guy who doesn't know anything about what they carry or how to turn a wrench
