Radiator fan functioning correctly?
So I've read that the fan is supposed to be operating at 15% at 199 deg...My digital coolant temp on the DIC was 203 deg and the fan wasn't running, this is my car sitting at idle. I'm 99.99999% sure the fan wasn't running, i put my hand behing the fan and felt no breeze at all, and didn't hear it spinning (even though its hard to hear the fan operating at low speed over my loud motor) i can not see the fan blades from the angles i tried looking, which is why im not 100% sure.
I then put the AC on and the fan wasn't moving much air at all, deff not operating at 50% or above....
Last i checked, the connector was NOT melted and it is a snug connection. (common problem with increasing resistance/current due to a faulty connection)
Is my fan operating properly? I could just cut and solder the connector to make sure there is not issue there. Honestly its not a big deal to snip then re solder every time i need to remove the fan. (rather have a better secure connection with less ease of serviceability than a dead fan)
Bad PWM box? how often do these fail on stock setups? (not over driven duty cycle)
Car is 06 z51, no tune so fans tables aren't touched.

If your connector is bad, I have a brand new oem connector I can send you:
