In this video Burner's high speed was working, so he determined that he had a bad ballast resistor. In your case, if NO speed works after you jump the pins, it could be bad wiring or a connection or it could be the motor. But I'd check the wiring first.
Here's another link that shows you how to access the fans:
Replace Radiator Fan
Another fairly easy test is to see if the fan spins freely. |
Thank you, Pipe. That Burner vid is one of the vids I watched and recall my horror at the exactly one minute mark... when he begins strong arming out the unit. The closer arrives at 17:42 when after summing up with, "So that's it. That's the whole process" he hits with, "You put everything back in the way it came out".
While I was testing the relays... jumping... running car to temp... etc. I had a constant mental loop of that video and hoping that wasn't the route I would have to take.
Snuck my hand under... fan spins freely.
Tomorrow morning I'll lift that side... peel back the liner... see if I can't access the electrical connection... to which I'll run 12V... without having to take off a bunch of parts.
Have a nice evening.
