Hey guys!  
But of a tricky one.  
Noticed my cooling fans weren’t coming on when car was up to temperature but would when I turned the a/c on. I assumed it was the coolant temperature sensor. So I ran around with the a/c on until the part arrived which shortly after the fans stopped running altogether even with a/c on. They only work when I unplug the coolant temp sensor.  
Changed the sensor, the relay and fuse , the fan control module and the fans still won’t work unless unplugged.  
My aircon is currently out of gas which happened a while ago , booked in to be fixed this week could that be related?  
Any thoughts guys ???
