Cooling fan problem
I just installed dual tpi fans to replace my single fan. Now that the new fans are on they only kick on with the a/c, not with the switch anymore like the single fan did. Anyone have a clue what is wrong? Maybe the relay?
You should be able to discount the relay as a possibility. The ECM uses the very same fan relay to operate the fan when the A/C is turned on. If the ECM can turn on the fan in A/C mode, it can just as easily turn it on when the coolant temperature threshold is reached.
Are you certain the coolant is warm enough for the ECM to turn the fan on? Factory fan settings are typically around the 223°F point.

An OEM dual fan installation on a '92 should have had a relay for the primary fan operated by the ECM, and a second relay for the secondary fan operated by the ECM with a redundant path through an auxilliary switch. Hopefully, that's how you have it wired.
