2G Radiator fan not working

[eddyspaghetti]

Hi everyone, first off thanks for looking.
Well, my drivers side radiator fan stopped working, it only works when I turn on the a/c.
I replaced the fan with a used one but still no luck.
Can you guys give me any ideas please?
Also, I don't know what a relay is or how to check it, but I'd love to know, any help would be much appreciated, thank you fellow dsmr's

Are you sure it's supposed to be on when you were checking? It doesn't run at all times the passenger fan is on. Just checking before naming off things it could be.

This might help. http://www.dsmtuners.com/attachments/fan-operating-mode-2g-jpg.86862/

Not sure what you mean? That chart I linked has all the stock operating modes. The AC fan won't come on until 210* sitting unless the AC is on.

One more thing I should add, I don't know if this helps but my car would turn on but would not crank, so I would take off the steering wheel cover and mess with the engnition switch for a little bit then eventually the car would turn on, could that have anything to do with the radiator fan not turning on? Also, I have a viper alarm system on.
Another thing, my car would struggle up hill and I would have to really press on the gas for it to get going, when i would turn off my car to go to like a walmart or somewhere, and id come back and it wouldn't turn on so I would again try to turn on the car and mess with the ignition switch area again and finally get it to turn on, the car would have much much more power, I would only need to step on the gas a tiny bit and I would take off pretty quick.
would this have anything to do with the radiator fan??
Any help would be MUCH appreciated, thank you man
Btw, I drive a 97 mitsubishi eclipse gsx A/T
