Frigette fr-15l 12 volt travel cooler
SOURCE: vehilcle cooling fans do not come on
Hi:
There are fan control relays that need to be checked as well. An easy check is that the fans are supposed to come on when the A/C is on too.

Hello! When you read +5 volts at the Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS) tell me where the meter leads were connected....If you had the (+) probe on the Yellow wire at the CTS; Where was the (-) probe connected? did you connect it to the Black wire in the CTS connector? Reason I'm asking is this; In the world of +5 sensor voltage, ground is very important...If chassis ground is even slightly resistive, 5 volt sensors will malfunction...The Camero has some years on it and corroded or rusted ground straps are common...The 6.8 volt reading with the relay unplugged is normal because the PCM is reacting to the CTS input; dropping the voltage to the relay, telling it not to pull because it thinks the engine is cold...
Leave the connector in-place on the CTS...Push the points of two safety pins into the rear of the CTS connector...One into the Black wire and the other into the Yellow...Set meter to read 5 volts...On a cold engine you must read +5 volts...On an engine at operating temperature you must read less than 2 volts...The CTS drops voltage as temperature rises...send a comment...Guru...Saailer

You need to isolate the coil by removing the ground wire from it and then trying for spark. If you can get spark without the ground wire attached, then your coil is good and you have an electrical short to ground somewhere in the machine, such as a bad on/off switch or some other thing you'll have to determine; which can be difficult. Best of luck to you.

probably by the fresh air hose the one that hooks to the throttle body.

Hi
Unplug the coolant temperature sensor while the engine is running. This should cause the fans to turn on low then kick to high, IIRC.
Typically when the engine computer loses the signal from the coolant temp sensor, it just turns both fans on high so the engine will not overheat. Ultimately, the fan is controlled by the computer. When it receives a signal from the temp sensor that reads the appropriate temp, it turns the fan on. One easy option is to wire a switch to the cooling fan relay. Then you can turn it on and off when you need it. I would not recommend running the fan constantly. You will burn out the fan motor and you'll never get up to normal temp for your sensors.
Check for coolant level and bad motor.
However as far as the fans and "disconnecting them from the temp sensor"..... The fans DO NOT connect directly to the temp sensor. They connect to the PCM (computer). The PCM reads the coolant temp sensor, and determines when to turn on the fans. It also uses the coolant temperature to control several other functions, including the transition from "open loop" A/F ratio control to "closed loop" A/F ratio control. It uses the temp to set the idle speed on cold start. It uses the temp to determine the cold start fuel enrichment. If you run this way, your car will be hard to start, it will run excessively rich, wasting fuel, and possibly even damaging the engine by diluting the oil.
