Hi Ramongj77
after reading your problem, I must tell you that while it is true what is advised above by "the controntulations", you should not do anything until not checking an obvious: have you seen if the radiator has water, and in case it has it it is enough?
Because if it does not have water, the temperature transmitter that normally is threaded in the radiator, can hardly analyze the existing temperature in the cooling circuit and can still send an activation order to the corresponding relay to start the fan.
Look at the water, but do it with the cold radiator or if you want to do it with the hot radiator, uncover the expansion bottle first. (Be careful with burns, they can be serious.)
Verified the above, if you had to put volts to the fan, directly from the battery, you have to keep in mind not change the polarity, because if you do, the fan will not start yet being good, because the fan is of direct current and for its start it does not admit another connection that the correct one, then ensure not to invest the polarity (if you If it happens is that it does not start or if it does, that it turns backwards)
