When I got the car they ran after a drive and now they do not. I am not sure if it is a relay or not. If it is, I have a volt meter I can test if anyone has a link to a write up with the right resistance and what not. Or I was possibly thinking about having my driver or passenger fan running all the time. Is there a way to hot wire the fans? Is this a good idea? My car just gets heat soaked but the temp gauge never moves so idk. My car is 100% factory btw if that information is relevant.
 
Verify easy things first, fuses, relays etc. If those appear ok check if you are getting power to the fan. You don't want your fans running continuously for multiple reasons. Temp gauge could also be a problem not exactly sure need more details about the issue.
 
Does the AC fan run off the same fuses and relays? I will go check now, the salmoned colored fuse looks good, that is why I thought it could have been a relay. Sorry for the late response guys, flushed my cooling system yesterday but good info about that temp sensor and the AC fan
 
When I turn the AC both fans do come on so they work. Even though my AC doesn't work LOL but thanks for the info! If I feel it getting hot I will just turn on the AC I guess.

Edit: Side note, I have had this issue with fuel pressure, more specifically "fuel pressure solenoid". I checked the vacuum lines and they seemed fine. I just cleaned the terminals because most people recommend cleaning them. But if I was to buy a fuel pump for a factory car could I throw in a Walbro 190lhp with no problems/extra work? Not that I want any power but it is a good brand and I do not wish to buy a factory one. Thanks!
