A quick way to check the fans is to turn on the AC. That will kick on both fans. It will not check the thermal switch though, just if there is power to the fans.
Funny thing is, we believed that about Allans a bit ago, tested it that way figured the problem was the thermal switch, realized that it doesn't work that way. The fan can get it's power from the AC fan but the circuit that has the thermal switch has it's own relay and wiring to the underhood fuse box. It can be fried, not come on normally, but still run with the AC. Go figure.

Isn't that what I just said??

yes, i think he was agreeing with you, just in a confusing way

The sensor is on the bottom of the radiator, did you plug it back in?

So did you figure it out?

I miss read what you posted JET or read something into it that wasn't there. Main thing I wanted to say was that it wouldn't check the thermostatic switch circuit by using the AC.

Hey ya ' all...

Ok, so the fans work just fine...i turned the ac on...they kicked in...i flushed the radiator.....and MADE SURE i had a proper coolant mix...fired the car up and its still overheating badly...im really busy at work right now so i havent had much time to look at it..but if anyone wants to help me i would appreciate it . Oh and i just tried running it with a couple of thermostats and w/o one....and no luck ha.
