I haven't been able to get the fans to come on in any condition. Last night I got the radiator temperature up quite a bit and no fans came on. I did not let it get into the red, but I have a transmission temp gauge and it was up to about 190.

Interesting note, I tried to remove the main fan2 relay to check it and it pulled apart when I was removing it. I don't know the constant AC compressor cycling might have overheated the relay. If it wasn't the original problem - it's a problem now.

I'm going to go see if the dealer has the main fan2 relay and I'm just going to buy some 25a main fuses and replace them instead of messing around with them.

If none of that fixes it, I think I am down to the main fan relay or both fans being bad.

More to follow.
