Wire found unplugged and hanging

#30 is the sensor that controls the fans.

Where exactly do each of those 3 ends plug into? It looks like the wire to the main fan and the thermoswitch on the bottom of the radiator. With all connected, unplug the wire from the sensor at the bottom of the rad, and jump it's pins. With the ignition turned to run (II), both fans should turn on when the pins are jumped.

Ok so when i put them back in and plug them back in and then jump that plug you were talking about. What if both fans dont turn on? Do i replace that plug? Also what if the fans do turn on but when the car gets to the temp. where they should turn on but dont, what could it be?

Thx LX-I but the problem is i took out battery cables cause the positive end is broken and in the manual it says to test to the thermo sensor i have to turn the ignition switch to on. I'll just reconnect the cables and wrap the positive end on the battery, i
ll keep yall updated.

If they don't come on when the sensor connector is jumped, test the fan relays. I posted how on one of your earlier threads. It they come on when jumped, replace the sensor on the radiator. If both fans come on with AC, the relays are good.

I'm not really understanding you. Make sure not to connect the sensor directly to the fans, the sensor sends a signal to the relays and they operate the fans. You will damage the sensor if you try to do so.

Im not gonna test the sensor without new battery cables cause i dont wanna risk a short or anything.

I got the negative battery cable waiting for the store to call me when the positive cable comes in which should be in an hour or 2. How can i test to see if my thermo sensor is working? Should i follow the manual or is there an easier way?
