So in that case, what other possible causes are there for my fan not working at all.it would stop the low speed fan but not high. I did the same thing. my low doesnt work but high does

LOL... two problems there. (1) my owners manual was in my garage last year and didn't survive, and (2) that diagram is beyond my level of comprehension. ahahaGet out your Owner's Manual and open up the BEC under the hood. Circuit breaker #3 is a 40 amp breaker that supplies current to both the low & high speed cooling fan relays. Chances are that circuit breaker has failed.
FWIW, I just flip-flopped the positions of high and low relays in the fuse box (putting my manual fan switch on the high side), and still nothing.
I'm perplexed at the moment. Hopefully someone can chime in with some troubleshooting ideas.
The list says F1.3 is a 30A for the starter relay. Could it be F1.2? Its listed as 40A for the fan relays.Look closely at the picture you posted. F1.3 is 40 amp cartridge fuse and F1.40 is the 15 amp mini fuse.
Thanks Mike. Couple more things to try.Put the relays back where they were, turn your manual switch on, and then where the fan plugs in, check to see if you have power on the high or low side. If power is there, then check your ground. If ground is good, it is probably the fan motor that went kaput.
If you don't have power, it could be a fuse or fusable link that popped.
You can also try tapping the relays lightly with a small screw driver and see if they engage. Also, don't forget the fuse feeding the relays themselves!
Hope this helps.

Well that's interesting........The list says F1.3 is a 30A for the starter relay. Could it be F1.2? Its listed as 40A for the fan relays.
Sorry... I was gone for a few hours to go watch my grandson's Pop Warner football game.Well that's interesting........
The Owner's Manual contradicts what you posted. Nonetheless, it's the one labeled 40 amps.
PS: PM me your email address and I will email you a PDF of the owner's manual.
Is there a way to visually tell if it is good?
D'Oh!Swap it with one from another location that is known to be good.
I did look at it last night with a flashlight, and it seemed OK. I'll double check...Have you checked the connection on the fan resistor to make sure it hasn't come unplugged?
I just went out and swapped out the 40A with another one, and still no go. I moved the relays back and forth. Zilch. So I double checked the wires going to the fan motor. The connections seemed OK... but... as I wiggled and tugged the wires a bit, the fan started working. A slight wiggle to the wire and it quits. So, it looks like the problem is either a bad wire or connector. At least it should be an easy fix... once I get a new one from the dealer next week.
Thanks for all the help!!!
Me too!Glad you found the problem Don!
Why do you say that? And why not do both simultaneously?if you alternate the radiator fan for 2 min then turn off and turn on the heater for 2 min you will cool even quicker
