Default Test the fans (or force them on)

Is there a way to force the fans on or at least test them to make sure they're coming on by activating the relay? How would I go about doing it?

stock fan temps are set to come on at 230*F. Let the car idle until they turn on.

If ANYONE in your area has HPtuners they can use the VCM controls in VCM scanner for free (no credits needed for scanner) to turn fan 1, fan 2, or both on.

pull the fan relay out of the fuse panel and jump the slots where pins 30 and 87 would go. That will close the circuit and kick the fans on. I would still try to find someone local with HPtuners and have them use VCM scanner to test the fans individually.

Cool thanks guys. I'll try that tomorrow. I'm sure the fan isn't coming on, but it's worth a shot.
