    Was the engine at temperature? Usually one fan is ac and one is to cool radiator when it heats up due to low airflow

    Disconnect the fan and then connect 12 volts directly to the fan wiring and see if it works, just connect it directly to you battery with some wire. If it works then your problem is elsewhere, if it doesn't work then the motor is stuffed.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    I connected the fan to the battery and it worked. Then I checked the plug of the fan and two pins were loose. I reinserted them and it works now. Thanks for the help.

    Gee mate you only have one work.....both mine come on either when you turn a/c on or temp goes over 98.....if temp gets to 104 both kick up a notch........maybe they changed after the VX?
