OK, after cleaning the contacts, the low speed fan is coming on when  I let get hot enough.  Since replacing the radiator, coolant pipes, water pumpt, etc it takes a LONG time to get the needle to pass the LED enough for the fan to come on.

I will investigate the fuses.   Where can I apply 12V to test the fan motor?

Thanks,
Bryan

The high speed fan uses a relay on the fuse box. Don’t remember the fuse number. Check fuse 1 also. Can also be a bad fan motor.

OK, I’m getting low speed fan when I jumper the end and middle, jumping the 2 ends does not turn on the high speed fan.  The fuse is OK.  Next step?
