QuestionQUESTION: '99 cadillac deville I replaced the radiator, pass. side cooling fan, & the 50 amp. fuse that controls the cooling fans. the cooling fans will not come on, I warmed the engine up to 250 degrees (according to the dash display) the coolant is full. Is there a relay or sensor I can check?
ANSWER: IS or HAS the CHECK ENGINE light ever illuminated while driving the vehicle ?.
There are THREE (3) relays mounted between the fans at the bottom of the fans. STRONGLY suggest performing test procedures and or replacing all 3 relays.
IF you have a CHECK ENGINE ligh illumination per above, Do NOT replace the relays until we resolve the CHECK ENGINE light problem.
