Try this, does your ac work too? Once you switch your ac on, the fans must work immediately, if they do not then it could be your fuses or fan motors. Have those checked.

Can anyone give further help? Same problem then fans turn on when the AC is on, but not any other time. Relays, and temp sensor is new. Is there a second temp sensor for the fans anywhere?

It used to be that the fans on my 2008 Grand Prix would come on when I turned the ac on. It would overheat on the freeway so I’d turn on the heat... now neither fan comes on at any time and I am googling about this in a grocery store parking lot. Any tips? The fans spin free and I’ve switched around the relays without any luck. Next I’ll check the fuse. If that passes I spose I’ll jump the relay or replace the fan assembly
