Testing fans and relays

saw on a YouTube that said the fans should kick in with the engine running and the AC on. Tried it and nada. On the same YouTube (which was excellent btw, posted by "Burner's Cars") he showed the location of the relays and how to jump them to test the circuit. Are the relays super cheap? Was thinking I'd just replace all 4 and see if the fans work.

Actually, if you had a Porsche diagnostic tool like the Durametric system, you can plug in and activate the fans to teat them.......
