hopefully the problem is as small as this, you know how I can check it is not the water pump?

I replaced the wiring harness and relays but the fan only comes on at 105c ?? It is always go up to 105 until fan triggers and drops to 98c. Any thoughts? Thanks all for the help!

Lookslike the high speed fan is working but the relay controlling the slow one is crusted up.

I am sure I wired it all correctly, got two new relays also.
I can only think the resistor needs changing, it looks fine, but if the high speed fan works so the resistor must work?

High speed fan doesnt use the resistor. The low speed fan uses the resistor to restrict the current to the fan.
If you remove the resistor and bridge the wiring and the fan spins at high speed you'll know the resistor is faulty.

thanks!
so apart from the resistor, with all wiring and relays and fan working at high speed can it be anything else?
