Subject: radiator fan switch speed [was Re: this is not the forum]

Are there two speed settings for the radiator fan? There are three
male connectors on the switch which is located on the drivers side of
the radiator. I have a manual switch connecting the center and far
driver's side electrical lead. I had thought that the other lead was
to shut off the fan when the temp got too cool. Is this for another
speed?
I have a 1983 water-cooled Westy.
