Already checked radiator fan relay, okay, replaced thermosensor above oil filter, okay, noticed when I ground blue wire from relay, radiator fan turns on. Any idea? There is a sensor on the bottom of the radiator is that part of the radiator fan system? Please advice. Thank you.

Hello,

The blue goes to the radiator fan timer on the top of left kick panel. It provides a ground path to the radiator fan relay control side of the relay (electromagnet that pulls the switch closed when energized), and pulls switch closed, completing the circuit to the fan motor providing battery voltage so it runs. Therefore the problem is going to be with the fan timer. In the diagrams down below I have included a exploded view of your vehicle's cooling system, along with wiring diagrams and fluid charts for you. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
