Both aux and main cooling fans have stopped working. Turning on A/C or elevated engine temp doesn't make either fan come on. I have replaced the Main cooling fan relay but didn't help. Not sure if there is anything else that controls both fans or would cause them both to fail.

Hey CSPRADLEY

There are two fuses #17 and #16 that work the system check those for power first, here is a guide and the location of the fuses are below along with the wiring diagrams for the system so you can see how it works.

Check the fan motor grounds as well as that can cause the problem. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
