Hey brotha, thanks for the phenomenal help. How do you suggest I change these?

I will have to find out how to test them to find out which ones are bad.

I have been using my blower fan to control the fans and it has been working great. I drove an hour and a half to orlando and back and the temps on the way there got up to 92 doing 80-85 and on the way back it got up to 89 doing some pulls with a friends 2nd gen. As soon as i got off the hiway the temps dropped back down to 83.

Could a bad relay also keep the fans running after you shut the car completely down? It keeps them on at a very low speed, but the car temp was 83 before turning it off.

If this is the case I will just buy all 4 new relays.

looking at the pic Karak posted, if you apply 12v+ to PIN A and Ground to PIN B if you take a voltmeter and check for continuity between PINS C and D you should have continuity. If you do not the relay is bad.
Also, when applying voltage as stated to PIN A and ground to PIN B you will hear a click.

If you dig in the FSM you can check the resistance between PIN A and B as well and compare the OHM readings with the FSM.

test them as phrost mentioned, but i'd be willing to bet that simply unplugging them you'll find a load of crap in the connectors, not just at the relay but at their added junctions a few inches down the harness.

I will test out the relays and also clean all of the connections and see what that does.

Also thanks for cleaning out the deal with the mysterious plug. I was starting to freak out.
