Scott;
Here is a way to test the thermo-switch. Locate the switch on the
radiator and disconnect it. The plug (connected to the wires) has three
connectors. Short across two at a time, you have three combinations to
choose from. Your results should be high fan, low fan and no effect. If
that is what you get suspect the switch.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
