the system works like this. The eng has a thermo switch, which sences coolent temps around 185 to 195 fer. it produces a closed circut, which then applys voltage to the rad fan relay. which then handle lots more current, i.e amps. could be a number of things, like thermostat,bad rad cap, thermo switch, fuse, relay,defective fan. or low on coolent.

You might need a diode wire. *You may have a blockage in the coolent system which can prevent the flow of the hot coolent to the radiator fan switch. Check the temprature of the upper and lower radiator hoses carefully by touch. If the one of the hoses is cool while the other is hot there may be a blockage.

Does the radiator fan not kick on a lot you have been working on your radiator and your car hasn't overheated but you never see the fan come on?

Depends on how long the car was running. Let the car run for an hour at idle and if it never comes on, I would check the fan. It should come on at sometime. Check the relay..............I just had this problem on my '89 Beretta. DoratheExplorer
