Tutorial on Fan Testing

Is there a tutorial out there that details the testing of the various fans?

Thanks!

If you disconnect the harness at the radiator fan. The prong in the corner is the ground and the other two are low or high speed fan. I use a battery charger to test fans and the resistor.

The fans can be activated with the Durametric software.

Pedro has a good DIY. As mentioned above you can use the Durametric if you have one. I removed the 4 relays above the fuse block and made myself a "jumper" with a piece of wire and 2 spade connectors on each end. Put one spade in the top center slot and bottom center slot where the relay plugs into. Your fans should run if not you have a problem. 2 of the relays are for low speed 2 for high speed. When I checked mine the right fan wasn't working at al and the left only on low speed. testing them is easy replacing is much more fun.
