have you drivin the car enough to warm the engine up? have you ever over heated the car? where is your temp gauge running?
just thinking maybe the fan won't kick on, untill the engine get to a certain temp..... keep the Forum posted

Cooling fan relays (3) located on core support between fans. PCM controls cooling fans; scanner that has override functions could be used to turn them on. No scanner, they canbe jumped - Dark Green and Dark Blue wires are grounded by PCM to turn on fans. Invest in FSM (3) books canbe found on ebay and through used manual venders.

No, those wires recieve ground by PCM to turn on fan(s).You dont short them together.
