The connectors (both male and female) for my AC radiator fan are burnt and the ac fan is no longer working. I'm pretty sure the fan still works as last summer I was able to get it to work by just moving it around but now it no longer works at all. Do you guys think i can just cut the wires and get new connectors? Also where can i find new connectors for the ac fan? Thanks

to check the fan just put 12v to it. as for the burnt wires, do what mike said and check the easy stuff first... and if that fails theres prob a short somewhere i would think, a little probing with a multimeter and a decent wire diagram should shed some light on your issue
 
You have a stuck thermostat or something causing the fans to stay on and overheat and burn up. The original issue has to be resolved first
 
Thanks guys, ill check it ths weekend. As for the connectors where can I get replacements for those? I assume they are no good now. Or do I need to go hunting at the junk lyard? Ill try this weekend.
 
just tried the 12v to the fan and it works. Tried following the wires and i found what looks like the relay (one part is white and the other is black) its right next to the coolant reservoir is that it?
