Replaced radiator, now is overheating because fans won't come on. Checked max fuses, both good.
Since they have separate power sources, could this potentially be a common ground issue? Nothing else seems affected. I'm lost at where to go from here, maybe try running outside power directly to fans?

I meant to delete this, cause I'm an idiot.. I forgot to remove the shipping cap from the upper hose mount, so coolant couldn't circulate.
