The sensor is on the rear of the passanger side head. To make sure the fan is working, take that wire off the sensor and ground it to the block, the fan should come on. If it does then your sensor is more than likely bad, if it doesnt then your wiring is messed up somewhere and you will need to use a wiring diagram to figure it out. Also check all the fuses.

had the same problem with my IROC. The power wire to the relay is protected by a fusible link. Well the link fell apart in my hand so that was my problem. I forget which color is the power wire, it's one of the thicker ones.

Mike,
Where did you find the fusible link? I think I have the same problem with my '88 GTA. I just bought it and the primary fan was hot wired to the fuse box. I removed that wire and I tried grounding the green/white wire off the relays according to a diagram I found in the tech section and the fans still wouldn't run. I think I might not be getting power to the fans, eh?
