Engine Cooling problem
1990 Pontiac Bonneville 6 cyl 147000 miles

Hello - This problem is with a left side radiator fan motor for a 1990 Pontiac Bonneville LE. I can disconnect the wiring connector at the fan and hook it up directly to the battery. Both legs (speeds)work fine. I also get about 13 1/2 volts at the connector when it is disconnected from the fan, so the proper voltages are there (when A/C is on and when it gets too hot without the A/C on). However the voltages go to 0 volts when I reconnect the fan, like something is pulling the voltages down, i.e. a weak relay?
What are your thoughts? I have no idea where the relay is located or where I might search for any other suspect component. Thanks, John

Hi
Ohm the ground wire if voltage there then relay is working. Motor ground loss would cause the voltage to drop when pluged in.
Let me know
Thanks for donate
