Default fan wont turn on!

Well i am finishing up my FM t70 project and started it up filing antifreeze, ect....

the temp get to 220* and the fans didn't kick on so i checked the tune and they were set to come on at 165* .....so i opened the scanner and checked the DTC's in the scanner. Well it brings up the relay falure for the fans!

I did cut and reverse the wires on the pigtails for both fans to run them backwards... but that shouldn't cause the problem! should it?


thanks for the help guys!


anyone have any ideas???????

just a thought. try turning the a/c on, that should make the fans engage if the problem is in the tune or the thermostat. other than that i've got no clue

ac trick didn't work... they worked fine befor i did the motor swap.

thermostat is opening, tune is good for fans (i have hp tuners), BUT when i check the pins for the fan relays they have no power!

All i did was swap the wires around so the fans would run backwards... everything else is working except the fans!

Anyone have a wiring harness diagram or an idea of a wire to check???
