While driving any speed engine temp is fine and ac blows cold. When parked engine temp goes up ac blows hot. Radiator cooling fans not coming on at all. Switched 2 relays around to see if one worked...could they BOTH be out? Temp switch problem?? Could BOTH fans be out at the same time?? Saw by-pass temp switch post could you walk me through it?? or should I take it in. $$ to fix ball park.

Check fuses 19, 22 & 24 in engine compartment fuse box. Replace any that are blown.

Should I replace them even if they "look" good from above? I have switched all 50amps and still nothing. I did run power from positive & negative to the connecting harness and the fans did not move. When I touched the wires together they did "spark" showing current but did they pass enough of it through to turn fans on?? does wire gauge thickness matter??? JC
