It was a stupid combination of things. Seemed like I would fix one thing and discover another. I was amazed as my car is actually in great shape.
1) Make sure ground wires behind passenger side of radiator are attached and in good condition. Mine were torn and needed to be re-grounded.
2) Make sure the contacts to the fans where the fans plug into the harness are free of corrosion. One of mine was super corroded and needed to be cleaned thouroughly. I actually used a dril to do it as the green corrosion was so thick.
3) Make sure the fans are good. Mine were good but all you need is a 12 volt battery to make sure.
4) Make sure the contacts to the relay are also free of corrosiion. Mine were a bit funky.
5) Replace the fuse as small blowouts are not readily visually apparent sometimes.
6) Make sure the plugs for the fans are intact. One of mine had come apart, so whjen I pushed it into the female harness one of the leads popped out and did not make contact. Open the plug, firmly place the leads into it, and re-close the plug.
All these things made a WORLD of difference for me! I am now cool as a cucumber on warm days, (even though it is zero degrees out today in NYC).
