Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the relays.
- Install a 30A fused jumper at the positive terminal at the battery.
- One at a time, connect the other end of the jumper to each fan voltage supply circuit terminal at each relay connection and verify fan activation.
- If the appropriate fan does not activate, test the fan voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test the fan ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the fan does not activate and the circuits test normal, replace the fan.
- Ignition ON, connect a 30A fused jumper between the relay switch voltage supply circuit terminal and the fan voltage supply circuit terminal at the low speed relay connection and verify fan activation.
- If the fan does not activate, test the relay switch voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and its fuse is open, test all connected components and replace as necessary.
- Ignition ON, connect a 30A fused jumper between the relay switch voltage supply circuit terminal and the fan voltage supply circuit terminal at the high speed relay connection and verify fan activation.
- If the fan does not activate, test the relay switch voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and its fuse is open, test all connected components and replace as necessary.
- If the circuits test normal, test and replace the faulty relay.
