My radiator fans are no longer coming on. The cooling fan for the engine (passenger side) I figured just wasn't cycling on due to engine temp. However after letting the car run for a good 20 minutes, it still doesn't come on like it should. I decided to try to force it on by turning on the A/C fan, and that one is no longer turning on either. I recently replaced my thermostst (with and OEM unit) since the old one failed and wouldn't allow the rad fan to cycle. During that time, which was only a week ago, the A/C fan would turn on when I switched it on. Since I had to drain coolant to swap t-stats, I decided to redo the the rtv on the water necks and t-stat housing since last time I used permatex adhesive by mistake. When I reinstalled the housing and was hooking all the connectors back up, I noticed the harness side connector for the large temp sensor had seperated from the wires. I've reconnected the wires and plugged it in. If this sensor's wires are backwards, will it prevent the rad fan from cycling? Would it affect the A/C fan?
I read in a post a little while ago about the fan switch at the bottom of the radialtor. What does it look like? What is the exact location? I got stock fans with a Mishimoto radiator if that makes a difference. What can I check for the A/C fan operation? I've already checked fuses and relays, and they're fine. I don;t have a multimeter to check other things.
