Re: Fan broken?

have you waited for engine to warm up to where thermostat opens up? Upper hose will get Hot, that's when fans should kick on.

Prolly a bad Coolant Temp Sensor which sends signal to ECM

Or Prolly no Ground signal being sent to fan relay

I wired up my stock dual fans with this: http://www.amazon.com/Hayden-Automot.../dp/B000C3DD7M

bypassing the CTS and the ECM problem I had. I was lucky to find one on Amazon for around $10 bucks at the time. Works like a champ.
