Reply to "Testing radiator fans"

Was able to work on it a little bit today. In tracing the wires from the fan, I still found no relay. The only thing I found was this funky connection at the bottom of the radiator as shown that connects these two black wires together (sorry bad photo). Not sure what that connector is, or why those two black wires don't connect directly with a male/female conection. As shown in the photo it is disconnected, but I did that myself taking it apart. But anyway, I found this connection was a little loose fitting, so I clamped it down & taped it up to ensure it stays in. Then lowered the car turned the ignition on, and touched the two wires together that go into the the top of radiator sensor, and the fans came on this time. I am not 100% sure that fixed it, but since those two wires at the sensor touched together last time did not start the fan, I figure this may have been it. I could not run the car long since it was late to wake the neithbors, but I will have it out soon and can see if it comes on itself when it gets hot. Thanks for all the diagostic help.
