Manual fan switch, fans not working
So I bought the SLP manual fan switch for my 95 T/A, tried the switch and the fan relay worked but the fans didn't (It sounded like the fan motor was trying to turn but couldn't). After trying the switch a couple times the fan turned on for about 5 sec on high. Then I switched it to low and the fans stopped and didn't come back on. Anybody have any ideas on what could be the problem? I am not the best with wiring and electrical on cars so I dont know where to start??

Already tried that. All connections are solid, and ground is good too. I also took fans off and connected them straight to battery with jumper wires and the fan worked, sounded like it was struggling a little bit but worked. Maybe the wires going to the fan are corroded on the inside or something?

If you say fans are "struggling", then one of them might have a bad motor if you say you took them off and directly applied power and ground with the same result.

Pcm was not tuned, but it is getting tuned right now so I cant do anything till it gets back. Gauge is working and sensor is new and connected.
