Car is trying to run hot while driving and the fan on passenger side of car believe to be a/c fan kicks on but not the engine fan. I turn the car off and the engine fan kicks on for a few minutes before going off. I swapped the two switches in fuse box but did not help. I can unplug the engine fan and hook direct power up to it and it comes on so I know it is not the fan motor. I think I have narrowed it down to the Engine Coolant Temp Switch(green plug with two wires). Is it a way I can test the ECT to make sure that is the problem before buying one due to tight budget. If it helps I did unplug the green plug from the ECT and stuck a two prong tester in the green plug and only the a/c fan came on but was unsure if that should have made both come on or not.
