Default What did you do to your car today? v.2015

For the 97 Slicktop Sport I'm setting up for my son, I confirmed I don't have a cracked new radiator, but simply a bad fitting radiator cap. Bled system, no leaks and cooling stable, except I noticed the cooling fan is not turning on.

I'll check fuses, bench test the fan and connections and check the fan relay after work today.

The temp got to 104c and no fan activation. Additionally, it did not activate when I turned on the A/C. Not properly connected, bad relay or dead fan I'm thinking. 97 M44 Auto.

I recall reading a few threads on the electric fan, I'll dig them back up for clues.
