Default FAQ: Testing Radiator Fan, Relay, Terminals in fuse box.

I am having troubles with my Radiator fan and ive seen many people have them to and i havent found one that has pictures so i thought as i figure it out i would update this thread. As of now i know the Radiator fan works. I do not know if the relay is good or if the sensor is good/bad. here is a picture of the Relay, anyone know what prongs to check for continuity?


Here is picture of my Gauge, it is usally even with the gas gauge. And the fan still didnt come on. I use to have it on a switch but really would like the car to work correctly.


Here is the Relay, i do not know which prongs to check for continuity.


in this pic i jumped the terminals and got the fan to work. So right off i know that the radiator fan does work

A little less than halfway in my 99. Fan rarely seems to come on though.

If i cant figure out if its just the sensor is bad, i think im gonna test which terminal on the fuse under the hood is power, and hook up a spade terminal to the negative so it still has that fuse to save my system if something fails. Its the only thing i can think of till i find out the solution. plus if maybe for some reason the fan only comes on after it is sitting in hot weather in like traffic it will turn on if i forget to switch on the fan. hopefully i can narrow it down tomarrow or the next day
