heya, my radiator fan doens't come on at all. I tried jumping it with a <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=24&k=paper%20clip" onmouseover="window.status='paper clip'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">paper clip</a> through the sensor by the intake and it doens't come on. I checked most fuses, but i'd rather just see if the fan works so i can order one if i need one. So how do i test the fan without cutting the wires that plug into the sensor so i can hook it up to a battery? what voltage battery do i need? any reccomendations? sorry im a eletrical noooob Thanks!

PS: I search! but no one explains how to test it with a battery, again electrical noob

 

you should be able to test it with a paper clip through the sensor when you stick a paper clip in it if your fan dosnt come on your fan is garbage....if it does come on it just your sensor

 

well not exactly true. if a fuse is bad it a relay it shouldn't turn on either. Imt rynig to gfind out if it just works without any relays switches etc, just power.

 

anyone?

 

just get speaker wires. stick it in the plugs and connect it to the battery.
