Any suggestions on troubleshooting (I'm going to go check fuses now, but thought I'd give the board a chance to work while I'm checking those) Thanks, Jeff   Jim H.

Otherwise, a nice sharp test light to stab the wires at the fan will tell you if you've got power there or not.

The fuses are all fine. The truck doesn't overheat at all, so I'm not sure just when those fans are supposed to come on. A mechanic friend thought they should be on because my AC clutch was engaging and disengaging far more often than he thought they should.   Tony Zuniga (Tony23007) Member Username: Tony23007 Post Number: 133 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 01:44 am:    Jeff, your AC fans should be on when ever you turn the AC on regardless if your car is hot or not. I just had to replaced one of mine, the unit just went out on me. $75 from a junk yard and its working good. Let me know if you need the number to the junk yard where I got mine. I think they are about $200 - $300 brand new.
