Thanks guys!!
I found it, grounded it, and my fans didnt turn on
I dunno what else to do.
I ran 12V to both of my fans and they turned on. I replaced the relay too. And neither fan will turn on @220 or when the AC is turned on

You need to find the power feed to the fans, seems like you don't have 12v there...should be up near the battery, maybe a 30amp fuse or a fusable link...don't recall.
You don't ground the sensor itself, you ground the wire going to it. Is that what you did? Did you replace the relay behind your battery? Have you replaced the sensor in your drivers side head?(might be reading wrong temp)

Yes I grounded the wire
Would replacing the sensor in the drivers side head have anything to do with the fans not turning on with the Ac?
I also replaced that relay too.

have you tried grounding the green wire on one of the fan relays? that should turn the fan on.

Nope, I'll try that tomorrow.
