fan not turning on?
 
ok well i went for a drive today and i noticed it kept getting hot when i would sit at a light then when i would start driving again it would cool off. then when i got home and left it running so it would cool down some the temp kept rising and it started to boil over and no fan on...... what to check first??????? im still waiting on it to cool enough to go look at it

Fuse.

Let me know.

i checked the fuse and the temp switch and both re ok
i think it might be the fan motor itself or the circuit/ relay. im gunna go check the fasn motor now and see which it is.....

Test the motor by jumping GND and TFA in the diagnostic box.

Both fans are dead? (driver side is the aux fan and should kick on with ac on) I would switch the plugs over so the fans get reversed (primary on drivers, and aux on the pass). That would let you know if its the fan or the wiring, its rare that both fans die.

ummm no only the driver side fan isnt working the passenger side which is hooked to the ac and turned on only when the ac was on is now just there it isnt hooked up at all because i nolonger have ac. i am gunna hook them up parallel. i have tried jumping gnd and tfa and nothing so i tried grounding the fan switch and i here a click at the relay but no fan on. im gunna go put some power to the motor itself by unplugging the fan and doing a direct power to the fan and im gunna see if it is the fan motor if it isnt then i have to try to replace the relay if it still doesnt work it then lies somewere in the wiring so then im just gunna wire it to a switch.

sounds like the motor is dead.

yup i am pretty certain the fan motor is dead also so i bought a new one today now im gunna install it tommorrow after work and hook up the fans in paralel.
