Fan Not Working - Need Help Troubleshooting
I bought the car in the winter so I only realized that there was an issue with the fans in the summer when it started getting super hot idling in the summer (above 209F with no fans on)
The main issue is that the fan that is supposed to come on at 209F doesn’t turn on, but the other fan does turn on when I use the AC. I went through all of the forums to test Relay #1, and I currently have a switch wired up to jump the relay terminals, however, neither fan turns on. I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong but I’ve tried to get as much info as possible and I’ve watched videos on YouTube and I seem to be doing it correctly. I turn the ignition and there’s nothing.
I checked the voltage to the pins on Relay #1 with a multimeter and I’m not getting no voltage but it certainly isn’t 12V. My next step is to give 12V to the connector to the fans.

Found the issue after testing continuity. Seems like one of the connectors’ power side was damaged. Will have to order a replacement or fix the current one. Bonus is not I have a fan switch ;P
