Rad fan not working, please help.

[gfrag83]

I'm a noob to these forums so please excuse any bad thread etiquette. Anyways, the rad fan on my 98 v6 stopped working. I replaced the t stat, thermo switch A (next to lower hose), temp sensor B (above upper hose), burped the system, and even changed the rad cap... still nothing. Checked voltage running to both sensors and they check out. I jumped the connector for the fan switch and the fan runs. I'm stuck, if you have any better leads, I'd sure appreciate it.

Is your car getting hot? My 4cyl fans don't run that often, especially with the hood up.

Yeah, it's getting hot. When it gets to the top end of the gauge, the fan runs for a short span, then stops. I take it that the sensor set for the higher temp is doing its job. I also checked fuses and swapped relays. Making me thinking I have two bad switches.

Did you change out the fan switch on the thermostat housing? Most of the time that is your culprit.
