Hello there!

Are you looking for the locations for the relay or the tempature switch?

Customer replied 1627 days and 7 hours ago.

the fan fails to come on at all. looking for possible cause. guage has gone all the way to H when it used to only go about 1/4 the way.

Expert:  AMEDEE replied 1627 days and 7 hours ago.

Ok... when the fan does not come on, are we missing power or a ground to the fan?

Customer replied 1627 days and 6 hours ago.

all the wires are factory, new fan motor has been tested and works, old fan burned up and I figured it may have destroyed the relay or switch.

Well it ispossible.

We need to figure out if we are loosing a ground or power to the motor.

Customer replied 1627 days and 6 hours ago.

It has not worked since the old one burned out. The new motor is not getting any power to switch it on.
