Can anyone help me? im a noob and need details on how to fix this..
for some reason i just found out that when im idling (at a light or something) for long periods of time i start overheating. ihave plenty of fluids and nothings interfering with anything, the radiator fan just isnt kicking on.
this has been happening more and more as it has gotten hotter.
(87 degrees today)
when i turn the AC on that fan goes but the other one doesn't i even put it in park to find out and it got hot but no fan turned on.
i recently replaced the radiator itself because the same thing happened where the fan would not come on, and then the radiator blew up -.- $110 later im still having the same problem so im kinda pissed.
can anyone help?

is everything plugged in on your radiator? have you done any recent work or done anything differently?

you already have it narrowed down. double check your relay, follow the wires to the fan and make sure they are good, next check the fan its self they do go bad. this should not take long and is the easiest path. if all this is good you have to go relay to engine. it sound like a basic electrical gremlin.

your screwed. if you can read a schematic buy a haynes. it shows you what wires to check. if not its shop time. a good electrical man can find it in under a hour, $65-$100 is well worth skipping the headache.
what to look for:
wires that are showing, pinched, or unplugged
take some jumpers hook one up to your negitive terminal then to your fan neg.one to pos. term. to pos. wire. do this as close to fan as possible. your fan will come on if it is good, if not you found your problem. this sounds worse than it is. hopefully this helps
