I did that with the battery disconnected so I wont get shocked but I can try it with the battery connected.
Do you think maybe the fan motors are sticking and not shutting off ??

try to ground them manually using alligator clips, or if u have a voltmeter, see if the pcm is giving it ground immediatly after u start the car. try that by putting the volt meter on the contiuaty test and put in one pin in the blue or green connector, and ground the other connector the cars frame. if the car is off and it does hav continuity then there is a grounding issue from the wiring to the pcm, if it doesent, then start the car and if the pcm grounds the wire right away then its a pcm issue

bro do this with the battery connected!! u wont get shocked, because these wires are not direct they go to the fuse box through clicking relays b4 they even hit the battery, so it wont even spark when u connect it. and if u do something wrong its safe dont worry

u sure it was the correct connector right??? ok now ur problem lies on its way after the connector to the fuse box. when the fans are on are they real loud or not so loud? in other words is it the high speed or low speed fans? the green is low speed and blue is igh speed. now all that is left for u is to trace those two wires to there source and inspect them carefully! and that is where ur problem lies. or if u know how a relay works u can remove the relay and manually override the relay with alligator clips, that way u can simplify where the problem lies. just now start off by tracing the blue and green wire to the fuse box!

Ok so I just tested it. I used a digital volt meter and it had no continuity. With either car on or off. I did noticed that when the car was on and I disconnected the connector, the car's idle would change.

Man this thing is pissing me off. I traced the cables and they look completely fine. I then used the voltmeter on the fuse box where the cooling fan fuse goes and the lead closer to the 40 amp fuse has like 180 something and the other one has no continuity.

I noticed that the wires that run to that fuse, the cooling fan one, are a thicker red and a thin orange ... I thought they are supposed to be green and blue ?
Damn man, I wish you were closer so you can come help me out

Man, you know what just happened, I took off the fuse box, looked at it, everything seems normal so I put in the Fuse and the fans DID NOT came on!!!!
THEN, as soon as I put the Fuse box back in the holder, the Fans turned on!!!!
I just need to figure out why, it doesnt seem like its making ground or anything, everything looks fine.
Any suggestions ?

Ok so it turns out that the Relay for Fan #3 comes on as soon as I put the Fuse box back in to place. I took off the Relay for Fan #3 and placed the box down and nothing, Fans never came on ..
Should I take the cables out of the fuse box and inspect the tips ?

humm that is now where the problem lies in between. remove the fusebox and wiggle the fan relay #3 wires around a bit hey maybe they are just bypassing each other? cuz if the relay wires touch each other the relay has no effect

Man I was moving things around and checking wires and nothing. Its funny because if I dont put the fuse box back in place, The fans dont turn on BUT as soon and the fuse box clicks into place then it turns on
