Default testing radiator fans

Yes your right ,take the fan switch plug and bridge the two terminals,if the fans work replace the switch if still do not work see if you have any burning sign in the fuse box ,this is very common .

If you bridge out the thermo time switch then it will just fire the cold start injector every time you crank your engine over instead of just when cold....

You mean the fan switch.....
