The radiator fan in my friends 97 Cavalier is not working. The engine light is also on, and I scanned for codes and got the P0480 code: P0480 Cooling Fan I Control Circuit Malfunction
I clear the code, and within about 10 seconds, the code comes back, fan does not turn on.
I jumpered the relay, and the fan runs fine. I switched the relay with the heater blower relay, and the heater fan still works, so the relay is not to blame. I unplugged the coolant temp. switch and the engine stalled, but the fan did not kick in. I just read on another forum that if you unplug this, the ECM will ground out the fan as a fail safe, and the fan should run but I don't remember this happening.
Anything else I should look for?
Thanks.
Ryan.
