    How to jump the radiator fan?

    My fan hasnt been working for a while now and I was wondering how I can jump the fans to see if they work. And also how would you check the relay fuses? There in a metal case so would you have to use a DIGITAL MULTIMETER?

    Jump the fan switch if i remember and it should turn on. Do they work when you turn on the A/C?

      ahhh...one fan does come on when I turn on the A/C but turns off in like 10 sec. then turns on again. The second one doesnt turn on at all. The second one I'm refering to is the one on the right side if u were sitting in the driver's seat.

      Ok done checking, seems the right fan doesnt work at all.

          On a scale of one to ten, how would anyone rate the difficulty of replacing the fan?

          My skill level between 1-10 would be like 3-4.

            Its really not that hard. Unplug the fan first, there is a 10 or 12 mm bolt on the bottom just loosen that you dont have to take it out all the way and take out the top bolts and pull out, There might be some stuff you have to move out of the way but yea thats basicallly it.

              to jump your cooling fans, disconnect the 2 pin connector at the thermoswitch on the thermostat housing. cut up a paper clip so that you can stick each end of the paper clip into each connecter. then turn your ignition key on and see if it does come on or not. if it does then your thermoswitch is bad. if it doesn't you may have an open in the circuit or a bad motor. try this before you go replacing parts. good luck

                After doing this and the fan won't work check your fan relay.

                  you can also test the radiator fan directly by splicing the two wires that go to the fan, and using some speaker wire to extend and connect to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. the fan should start on right away. if not check for faulty relay. if relay is good, then most likely the fan is no good. lates

                    I would assume to check the relay I would need a multimeter. I've also heard you can rent out tools from Autozone. Would a multimeter be one of them?
