100% fact. Pull the trunk carpet on the far right, Passenger side, and it is right there. There are 2 pipes the air comes out of one of them pointing at the coil/distributor cap.

Ironic. I did a head gasket on my 87 GT very recently, and never even touched the trunk fan. Honestly, it never kicked on before. I have spent days in my engine bay, and it has never ran in the past. Then, out of the blue, it turns on after the cooling fan went on during initial start up. No rhyme nor reason. It just works now.
Yes, the '85-87 V6 engines had the "trunk blower" to cool the alternator and ignition coil. The '88 V6 uses a better alternator and better exhaust manifold heat shields, and as a result does not have a trunk blower. None of the 4-cyl Fieros came with a trunk blower.
Exactly. The trunk blower is on the same electrical circuit as the radiator fan relay. So if you ground the fan switch connector, the trunk blower should come on, as well as the radiator fan.

It also comes on anytime you activate the AC, if you have AC. That's because, as Blacktree pointed out, it's on the same circuit as the radiator fan, which turns on with the AC.

I was told that the fan only comes on when A) the Radiator fan kicks on, and B) Your car is equiped with A/C.....My 85 SE V6 didn't have A/C...The fan NEVER ran.....I took it out, but may re-install it behind the IMSA scoop on the right side, then route the air along the fire wall to blow on the Distributor.....Oh yeah...I'll re-wire it so it runs as soon as the engine warms up.....

Are you suggesting that the trunk fan only ever runs on A/C equipped Fieros? No way! That wouldn't make any sense.

According to the wiring schematics, the radiator fan relay and trunk blower relay are wired in parallel. So either the fan switch or the A/C system should be able to trigger both fans simultaneously. Hopefully that clears up any confusion.
