Doubters will say "judge, your makin' people spend MONEY when nuthin' is proven" to which we could quelch their concerns with an obd-II diagnostic report (connection not three feet from the ignition switch)~

My cooling fan does not turn on. I hooked up wires to the fan and it turns on, I checked the fuse, the relay and put in a new sensor. It still will not turn on, even at 205 degrees. If I pull the wires out of the sensor it runs but won't turn off. 2 answers

I checked the fuse, the relay, and put in a new sensor. The fan runs all of the time when I unplug the sensor but will not come on when I plug it back in no matter how hot it gets.
