Still the same issue: broken fan motor, ballast resistor, or relay or its a break in the wiring.

If you switch the relays the passenger fan still doesn't run, then think fan motor or resistor.

If the weather is hot and you let the car run at idle until the fan switches to high speed as the water temperature rises and the passenger fan still doesn't work, then the fan is the problem.

If the passenger' side fan comes on at high speed, then it's the ballast resistor

If you have a Durametric cable or know someone who has one, you can test the fans in low and high speed modes without having run the car.

Thank you. Very much appreciate your response.

My wife I'd going to kill me. Having to work on my car all the time.
I used to work on my old motorcycle's until she grew tired of it and make me buy a new bike.

Maybe I can get a new Boxster if this continues.

LOL

I have been working on and repairing things all my life (turn 60 in a few days), you say you got the fan motor going ?

Unless you found something wrapped around the motor binding it it is probably toast. I have gotten many motors that were seized going...penetrating oil etc. I have found if a motor ever seizes it's life is most likely over, you might get it going for a while but it will fail on you again. Summer is not a good time for a cooling motor to go out, get a used one from Woody if there is any drag whatsoever in that motor. It might cost a little right now but seem like loose change compared to an engine later.
