Hello - My fans when at idle or at slower around town speeds aren't coming on and the temp starts to rise. Normally, if I have the van idling, the fans will come on about every 3 to 5 minutes for about a minute and then stop. Looking for some tips on what to look at first?

Thanks!
Thomas

Meant to say, normally the fans would come on about every 3 to 5 minutes. Currently they are not. Thanks!

Fuses, relays, resistors, fans.

The fans and resistors are fairly new, so hoping it's a fuse or relay. Thanks!

An easy way to troubleshoot is to move your a/c lever to a/c. Then turn on the ignition but don't start the engine. The fans should be running.

Now work your way upstream with a meter.
