Fans don't come on!

all last summer to cool the engine down i had to keep watch on the coolant gauge and when she got to hot i had the turn the A/C knob to turn the fan(s) on. Plus i forgot a few times and let it get to hot for a few minutes. I'm not dealing with that this summer! Pain in the ass!

I'm guessing my Aux Fan switch on the rad is no good??

I should probably run with a thermostat this summer too eh? lol
but still, the fans should come on when it gets to hot.
Next time i forget i'll cook the engine, it only takes once to boil over and the engine is toast. Not worth it!

Yep, to test if it is the switch that's bad, jumper the connector, the fans should come on.

There are two control inputs to the radiator fan relay. One from radiator thermoswitch and the other from the A/C. If the A/C turns on the fans, you know what's the next suspect.
