Hello!

 

I would recommend to check for power going into both the high and low speed fan relays. I believe power comes into these relays via red wire. If there is power to these relays, I would recommend to check to see if these relays activate and power up the fans by grounding the light green and violet wire coming into the relays from the computer.

tried that fans work replaced relays and the still do not come on not even when ac is on

DOes the fan relay relays have power to them with the key on?

Customer replied 1117 days and 7 hours ago.

yes they do

Do they engage or click when you turn the AC on?

Customer replied 1116 days and 8 hours ago.

yes they do

SO if this is the case, then we simply have a break in the wiring from the relay to the fans.

 

DO you need a diagram?

Customer replied 1116 days and 5 hours ago.

there are two wires in the plug that go to the coolant temp sensor is one supposed to be live

Customer replied 1116 days and 4 hours ago.

If the relays are clicking, then the computer is good.
