Okay, so I'm lost now. I've had alot of help from everyone on this site and I'm very grateful. I still have a strange problem and I can't figure it out. The cooling fans do work and keep the car cool, but I have to unplug the Mass Air Flow Sensor to make the fans come on. Once the MAF is unplugged, the fans come on in about 30-40 seconds and stay on, keeping the car cool, but if I plug in the MAF the fans shut off after 30-40 seconds and won't come back on no matter what the engine temperature is. I have replaced the coolant temperature sensor, the MAF itself and the fan relays. I cannot account for why the fans won't come on when the MAF is plugged in. Please Help.
