IT sounds like it is operating normal. The primary fan will handle the heat and keep it in check, ( I assume you aren't overheating). The secondary fan comes on if the Primary fan can not adequetly prevent overheating temps of if the the A/C is on as the a/c is heavy on the system.

there is two gray plug's on the right side of the rad.the lower plug when you pull apart it will work the fan's.they will stay on when you turn the car on and off when car is off.but when i plug back up and car is hot cool down fan will not come on.

Sorry, I assumed fuses were checked.

I doubt it is a fuse issue based on unplugging them changes the operation. The circuit that the plug is on is causing a problem is my thought.

That was what I was thinking reading through. This may help. The sensor may be giving false data and not turning on the fan.

I think you are on the right circuit. I suck at electrical, but will try to logic this out with you. I think the circuit in question is the one highlighted.


https://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/30961_toyelec_1.jpg

We know the circuit on the A/c side wiorks and can activate the radiator fan motor. Since the a/c fan will only come on if the a/c is running...I believe. I would next test the A/C single pressure switch.

KHLow2008 Pmed me with this info:


Customer did mention unplugging the fan switch would make the fans work. The problem is with the fan switch. Check if the correct switch has been installed and if the internal part of installed switch is clogged.

Toyota system grounds circuit and when circuit opens, the fan relay works the fans.

Recheck if there are any lack of coolant in system after switch changes.
