Default WTF? P0480 and P0481

P0480 Cooling Fan 1 Control Circuit Malfunction
P0481 Cooling Fan 2 Control Circuit Malfunction

I have a DIY manual fan override. It's been on the car for quite awhile. Everything was done 100% correct. Everything operated as it should. Since my car's been running after the cam swap (one week ago) things were fine until today. The car was idling in the drive way for 30 minutes or so. The fans are working like they should and the car never got past about 179*.

Anyone have any experience with this? Any ideas where I should go looking? All my connections look good, and it seems the fans are working as they should, both with the PCM in control and with me using the override.

FWIW... I've checked all the fuses, and they're good.

I think it has to do with your dutinator pump, usually you can fix this with a left handed blevet wrence. If none of that seems to fix the problem then go ahead and check out the muffler bearings. The low blinker fluid level indicator might also be wired in with the fans, check for malfunction thier too.
