82 aux fan
Ok I'm dumb founded with this problem.. maybe I'm not seeing something... I put a new radiator and dual electric fans on my 82'. They came on when I would turn the key to on and also when I start the car. I unplugged it to do some other work on the engine during the winter. Last week I plugged it back in and nothing.. found a loose power wire and re connected it securely. this morning I was gonna turn on the heater blower fan and all of a sudden I had power to the fans and they were working.. 😐 When I turned it to key on and ignition on. So then i turned it off and later was gonna check my trans fluid level and once again nothing... so my next question is there a aux fan relay I don't know about? The sensors are new on the whole engine. All fuses are good. I just plugged the fans into the original harness so that way I wouldn't have to cut too much up... any suggestions?? 🙁

Shot in the dark...great ozzy tune, okay, now your fan issue,
First thing comes to my mind you are overloading the stock aux fan relay, yeah, i have seen relays do that, and the one that came in your car was for a smaller single fan.....didnt it come on with ac and or high Temps

No relay on an '81. Just a temperature switch that grounds out at some very high temperature. I believe it was around 238 F. Maybe even higher. Hence the fan never comes on. It was mounted to the radiator in front of the engine fan.
