lol i didn't want to say it.

 

ive tried it it i still cant find a problem its problly just old there stock so there about 18 years old

 

what what what ???? so you have power to the fans?? temp switch working ?????

 

yea the power is fine no cuts cracks in the wire nothing the temp. is fine to, but there is this one hose on the left fan when you look down on it it looks like its cut but it looks like a tube not a wire cover i just over minded it

 

Did you check the fan motor to see if it even works? Are the motors plug in?

 

its to tight i only took a quick feel around so i just felt the wire to see if it was connected ill check that that might be it

 

 

lol

Did you actually test the wires to make sure the fan is getting power, or did you just check to see if theyre connected?

You could also give the fan direct power from somewhere, and see if it turns. Then youd know if you have a bad relay or possibly a short somewhere.

This is a run on sentence with poor punctuation.

No, it doesn't sound like he's checked for power or tested the relays.

OP: If you don't have a repair manual, get one. There are procedures to test the fan switch, relays and motors that are quite simple. Again, you can check your motors very easily by connecting them directly to the battery.

 

lol yea well i never flame anyone, so i figured it wouldnt hurt to start
