You checked for power at the fan?
All you can do is start chasing the power backwards.

What kind of truck is it?

The condenser fan went out in my 2007 Ram 1500. $180 at NAPA and everything worked fine again.

no fan

Is the relay energizing?

That will point you where to look next


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

No power at fan and new relay doesn't fix it. Pretty sure these set codes for auxiliary fan fault. Got a check engine light?

Look for a blown fuse in the meantime.

Run it to an auto parts store. Have them put a scanner on it and check for codes and usually, FREE. It would least put you in the ball park or be dead on what is going on

ck fuse Also I remember in the winter(defrost mode) ice would jam the fan from turning and cause the fuse to blow. Won't really show up til spring and people would start using the A/c.
