The one circled in the original post is the fan switch...found on OBD0 blocks. One with the green connector is knock as mentioned.

the green one is the knock sensor, the black one is the radiator fan switch (the early blocks have on the back where yours is the newer ones have on the thermostat outlet housing) theres also another one that is next to the fan switch in the back of the block, thats the oil temp sensor, when you have overheating problems this is the sensor that makes the condensor and the radiator fan come on whe you tur the car off. hope that helps!!!!

Not to be a smart a** but the sensor on the back of the block is only for the fans, the temp sensor for the temp guage is located on the side of the head near the dizzy...

I'm gonna have to agree with 4thgen... \
OBD0 blocks have the Rad fan switch in the back of the block, (2 wire sensor)
OBD1 blocks have it in the T-stat housing (as shown in the pic)
the single wire plug, is in fact the Oil press. sending unit. turns the dash light on and off. thats it. So you are wrong. Unless your talking about something nobody else see's in the pic...

Take the 2 wires going to the fan switch and short them your fan should come on if not check your wiring around the fan and relay...
