my cooling fans do not work. I changed my fan relays and the fans still are not working. there is no power to the fans. when I turn on the ac the fans still get no power. if I manually push in the relay they come on.what could be the problem sensor or pcm or something else or there is nothing else .

What do you mean by manually push in the relay? Do you apply pressure to it and the fans work? If that is the case, it sounds like a bad connection. Have you checked for corrosion or damage to the relay box or connections?

Then there is no power to the relay. Check wiring.
