    Hey everyone, I have run into the issue of my radiator fan not kicking on when it should, even when I bridged the thermo switch at the bottom of the radiator,

    ive checked all of the fuses, grounds related to the radiator fan system, I even jumped the radiator fan straight to the battery to see if it works, and it kicks on,

    I checked the wired on plug A1 pin 5, and A1 pin 7, theyre both good,

    ive got power going to the Fan control module, on both plugs, and also the thermo switch has power going to it. the only thing I dont have is power going straight to the fan itself,

    any input would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advanced.

    Probably the fan itself. There is a resistor pack in them that goes, that is what is responsible for the different speeds. If you get the high speed only, then that is likely the culprit if you've checked everything else.

    well there is simply no power going to the fan itself, I put a tester light on the plug for the back of the fan, and not a damn thing.. im going to run a toggle switch temporarily until I can figure this out.
