Do you mean that the A/C and Cooling fan do not work or are missing from the car?

they do not work. cooling fan will run when switch is unplugged. has 4.77 volts to ground and when testing voltage to ground, fan shuts off. new switch, ccrm, sending unit. temp gauge creeps below cold when key is turned on. all other gauges good. ive cleaned grounds under the hood and engine ground. occasionally i will hear the ac clutch engage briefly. bought the car like this and it cracked radiator by previous owner.

cooling fan not turning on, but does when ac is on or when coolant temp is jumped or unplugged.
