2000 Sable Cooling Problem

[Bluffing024]

In my wife's 2000 Sable LS Premium, the cooling fans won't turn on. It isn't a huge issue because she only drives 4-5 minutes to work, but I would like to get it fixed. My Dad is here and he has a 2002 Taurus SEL so I took all of my wife's fuses and relays out of her car and put them in his, and his cooling fans still kick right on. So I have eliminated the fuses and relays. I doubt that both fans died at the same time, but I won't know for sure until I can get in there and run power to them to see if they will kick on. Any other idea's besides them being bad?

Isn't there a relay on it, kicks it on when it reaches a certain temp?

I changed all the fuses and relays in the main fuse box under the hood.

give the fan power straight from the battery. see if it turns on or not.

I think we are pretty stuck until you test them out.

Both fans run off the same power supply. Jump a wire directly to the fan harness from the battery and see if they com on.

Did you get a chance to test it after we talked? call me, find me on XBL or post on here after you test it.

Hey Mike. No I haven't had a chance to test anything else yet, probably won't until Wen. or Thu.
