Remove the black relay to test the high speed circuit, the green one for the low speed circuit (the owner's manual shows these). Jumping pins 3 and 5 in the desired socket, with car OFF, will make the motor run at the appropriate speed. The numbers of the socket pins are on the relay body. You can check with an ohmmeter: pin 3 will have 12 volts, pin 5 will have about:[1 ohm low speed, .5 ohm high speed] to battery ground. That checks motor circuit, without jumpering.
Good luck with your repair."

I just want to make sure.
If you ohm pin 5 to the battery ground, it's pretty much a short/maybe 1 ohm and pin3 is basically a short/less than 1ohm to the (+)battery.

Are you sure jumping pins 3 to 5 on the relay is safe to enable the fan ?
