A/C relay has for the front fan has been replaced. Still will not come on, thanks. Any other ideas?
If relay, has been replaced,there must be a short,between relay and fan,all so could be a bad tempreture sending unit.But that said you can hot wire fans, to run all the time,just make sure to use fuse link,and go to a hot on and of ignition wire.

The fan relay controls the radiator fans in a wiring diagram to prevent overheating, but one of the fans is also controlled by the air conditioning circuit to remove heat from the condenser, my fan for the condenser will not come on, A/C blows cold and works till the condenser heats up. Then I shut it all off to prevent a blown hose or other damage. What controls the condenser fan? Is there a wiring diagram for it? Both fans work as the engine temp comes up. Hot wiring is not an option. Thank you.
