Ron,
You're right about the exasperation thing. I've been up and doing some testing. I do know the fan works, and the switch works (Mine is manual), so next to test is the ignition switch...which I've already been suspecious of.
BTW Anybody know if there is a fuse or solinoid somewhere? I think my car has the Painless(ful) wiring setup.
I will get through this, it's just the timing that ticks me off

.
Thanks again, Ron.
