Sorry guys, another problem. This time with the coolant fan.

I had a problem with my fan where it wasn't comming on by itself. I took it to a radiator place and he said the inexpensive way to get around this problem was to ground the fan relay. So he did that. Then after that i notice the wire that plugged into the fan had a bad plug where i had to keep constant tention on it for the fan to work. now and then when i hit a bump it would cut off and i'd overheat. well, last night i was driving to work and it was pouring down rain and i was overheating bad. i was pulling on the wire for the tention and the wire must have had a bare spot on it where it grounded out and sparked. after that the fan don' work at all anymore. i checked all the fuses. i even changed the relay cause i had an extra one. what else could it be? i hope you guys can help. thank you.

You really might want to check baack over the fuses but, on the off chance yours came wired like mine was, check the fuse up by the battery (in the weatherpak connector). w/the ignition on, there should be 12v+ on the tan/white wire. If not, the wire may be cooked or you overlooked the fuse, I can't remember offhand which one(fuse) it is though. Also,, are you sure the harness is making good contact ?
