2002 Volkswagen GTI Radiator Fan

first you will want to check fuses and relay.

I checked those already and everything was good. The fuses and the relay check out.

Okay, do you have the manual or auto A/C system so I can look at the correct wiring diagram of the cooling fan.

Yes I do. I have the Hanes manual with the diagrams do I email it to you or how does that work?

No sorry I worded that wrong. I have the information already, I just needed to know if it was auto or manual A/C system. so you have the automatic a/c system?

Yes it is the manual ac system. And I found that it is the wire that goes from the fuse box to the fan. Can I hook up the new wire from the battery directly to the fan and bypass the motor and relay? Or do I need to hook it up from the fuse box?

You will want to replace it in the same place, otherwise you will have to wire up a fused toggle switch and manually turn on/off the fan which is not the best of ideas because an overcooled engine is nearly as bad as an overhetaed engine.
