These are the details
I then tested it on the bike battery (not running) at 13.4 volts it spins as it should
I tested the connector under the air box, it shows about 0-2 volts when the bike is cool, then ran the bike to over 221f and the connector shows 13.77 volts, attached the fan, and NOTHING, but the voltmeter jumps to 60 volts, no fuse blows, and the fan is still good when tested on the other batteries
to triple check, I immediately connected the fan directly to the bike's battery and its still good so didn't burn up, same on the car battery
At this point totally confused why at three different sources with over 12.8 volts it works in two places and not where it should, but makes the voltage increase...its two wires +/-
Open to any ideas about what obvious thing I'm missing, or what the issue might be???
- 2012, with 103000 miles
- the bike has never been dropped on the left side, so not bent
- tested I have power at the connector and it jumps to 13.77 volts when the bike is over 221f like it should
- to date replaced the fan, even though it wasn't bad
- replaced the relay
- no fuses have EVER blown
- replaced the thermosensor
- replaced the thermostat
- replaced the coolant
- no obvious wire fraying
- no other electrical issues at all
- no error codes
- have disconnected the battery to see if there is some kind of reset to the ECM, made no difference
