Fan Isn't Working!
Yesterday I noticed the temp on my car going up really fast and I pulled over and I noticed the fans weren't on. I checked the fuse and it was good, but there was a clicking sound coming from the relay for the fans. I bought a new relay and it wasn't that either. You guys have any other ideas on what it could be?

Fan Plan
If the fan or fan circuit has a short it can cause a voltage drop in the circuit which makes the relay drop out.
Test the fan by applying 12 volts (thru a 30 amp fuse) to it.

If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going Backwards
When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead. Right grandma?
How bout those nervous nellies too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime or if there is a little rain!

Re: Fan Plan
I had my fan motor go out once. I could hear a noise and sometimes it would work very slowly and finally went. New motor from the parts store for about $25 fixed it. That could also be an option.

Re: Fan Isn't Working!
Turn on your air conditioner, the fan should run with the air conditioner, if it does its not the fan motor, since you replaced the relay, i would guess the fan switch, or possibly the relay you bought is bad to begin with, it happens unfortunately. Good Luck!!
