Re: gta fans

Both of the fan sensors replaced? (There's two of them) There's a two pin sensor under the throttle body (in the intake manifold) and a single pin sensor on the right-side (passenger side) head. The two-pin sensor causes what you're experiencing...

Re: gta fans

also check the wiring close to the relay and the fan switch.I have heard of people grounding out the switch to make both fans work.
If all is good there,I'd check into the ecm.

Re: gta fans

Try running 12v directly to the fans, if they dont come on then, its probably the motor. But since both of them arent working I would think its probably some electrical problem. But its worth checking in the unlikely case both the fan motors are bad.
