Do you have power to the motor? Is the fuse blown? You can have someone check the fan motor, but did you say you bypassed the relay and the fan worked? For now you can bypass the relay and wire the fan to run all the time when the ignition switch is on. It will not hurt anything, and keep the engine cool until you want to change the relay out.

I have a '99 Chevy Lumina LTZ, and for the first couple of years that I had it it would never really heat up until the past two years, when I noticed the temperature gauge actually moving. Anyway, when it heats up(needle in the center or right in the gauge), my car shakes and it shifts really hard. Any ideas? It has 172,xxx on it, and I'd like to get another year or so out of it without replacing anything major. 2 Answers
