Hello Cheryl, Which fan are we looking at....the radiator fan or the heater fan? If it is the heater you need a resistor.

Let me know

Mark

Thanks for the reply......its the radiator fan........

Cheryl

Answer
Hi Cheryl, The radiator fan doesn't work but you have 12 volts to it? This can't be right. There must be a bad wire from the fuse box to the fan motor. You need to check the power wire from the relay to the fan for a corroded spot. Or you could run a new wireto test it.
