Troy,

To simply test if the fan motor works, remove the lower grille and unplug the connector from the thermal switch on the lower driver's side front of the radiator. One wire to the connector will be hot (nominal 12 volts). The others are for different speeds. Using a piece of wire to jumper between the connectors, going from the hot wire to each of the others will cause the fan to come on at its associated speed (if it's working).

Even if you don't have a volt meter to check for which wire is hot, you can't do any harm by jumpering the wrong wires ... you just won't be connecting them to 12 volts so nothing will happen.

Mike
