I see a sine wave symbol so you may have it set for AC current. Each low power fan draws 7 to 10 amps. OEM fans draw more so your 10 amp scale will not work if you are testing the feed to both fans. So your reading of 0.22 amps is not correct.Originally Posted by glockworks21

That looks like one low power fan. Note your meter and test leads drop a little voltage. If your engine was running it should read higher.
Don't try to read the current of both fans (the drive of the fan relay to the fan fail), it will blow a fuse in the meter.

Can you get the fans out with the radiator in place? Looks pretty tight.

Yes. You will need to drop the "sway bar" if your removing OEM fans.

I can also say yes because I've done it. You will definitely have to pull the sway bar. If you have a friend that is willing to help get em because it will be a pain in the butt doing it all by yourself. I did mine myself.

Its fairly easy to remove as gravity is on your side. install is not so easy as there is a lot of twisting and angling to get it in right. due to extreme lack of patience and frustration i may have ended up shaving some of the shroud down with a dremel sanding wheel to get it back in.. not much.. just a little)
