Default Fans still wont turn on

I've just replaced my fan relay and the fans still aren't coming on at all. I can't let this car die!

What should I try next? Would too much coolant cause a problem, because it is filled above the "Max" line.

And how can I wire the fans to a switch, so I can turn them on and off...? I really need some help.. thanks!!

-Dean

fan will not turn on until certain tempreture is reached. to have it running it all the time, unplug it by the thermostat housing and simply short it out with a paper clip.

could try to bleed the coolant system, make sure there is no air in the system, that could cause it not to come on.

I've heard that you should open the "bleeding valve" thingy and all the steam .. stuff.. should come out as the car is warming up and just to leave it open until coolant start to come out.. correct?

And what do you mean by short it out with a paper clip?
