radiator fan was working fine the other day. Engine came up to temp, fan kicked on, no problems. today, car started to overheat a bit and I had to hit my a/c button to get the fans blowing and temp down. what could possibly cause this? I saw 3 relays under the hood marked rad. fan so I dont really know where to start.

switch the a/c fan relay (which is obviously working) with the engine fan. If it works then the engine fan relay is bad and needs replacing. If not, it could be temp sensor or ecu.
 
I'll check that out in the morning. I wasnt sure if they were all the same type of relay or if there were different. thanks
 
well i checked the relays and that seems to all be good. so now I've got to check the temp sensor. I'm thinking I may have a stuck thermostat because it still runs a little on the hot side when i have the ac fan on. Also, I'm not getting much heat through the heater right now.
