'88 MJ 4.0L has cooling issues, which I been through pretty much the entire system, and I'm still running hot and eventually overheating.
The only thing that isnt' working correctly at this point is the electric fan isn't kicking on when I turn the A/C on, nor when the engine gets hot and the coolant light starts glowing red.
The fan is good, my temperature sensor in the radiator is brand new, just replaced the relay, so the very last culprit is going to be the orange plug diode that is spliced into the harness.
I have absolutely no interest in wiring in a manual switch for the fan to come on, as I'd rather have it work automatically.
With that said, I've called about 5 dealerships and the orange diode is no longer available from the factory.
Its a 3 Pin, 5A diode, which I'm having trouble finding a replacement.
Aside from junkyard hopping, does ANYONE have a source for a replacement, whether thats OEM or aftermarket that I can splice in place of it?
Here's a pic of what I'm talking about:

Thanks for the help!
