You have single or dual fans?

Re: cooling fan not coming on

Since the fan comes on with AC, your relay and fan are good. The fan switch that actuates the relay at a certain temperature is located on the passenger side head between the last two spark plugs. Should have a green with white stripe wire going to the connector on it. The switch grounds the wire going to the relay and turns on the fan. The switches go bad often. Do a search on fan switch on the cooling board and you will find lots of info on here about testing and choices for different switches
