If it doesn't turn on with A/C, but turns on high when hot, then it is most likely either the ballast resistor, or the relay. If it doesn't turn on ever, then it is most probably the fan itself.

I swapped the low and high relays for both left and right and no difference. I did not try jumping relay plug.

When I had issues with my fans I used a jumper in the relay socket to figure out one fan wasnt working at all the other was only on 1 speed. Pedro has a good diy that is what I used as a guide.
