Default aux fan and A/C clutch Relay

Hey, New to the XJ fam. I picked up a 96 sport with the 4.0 that overheats every once in a while. Noticed the aux fan doesn't kick on consistently. If I pull the relay and reseat it, it will fire for a split second and then go back to normal state. I am metering the main/switched/and ground as they should be. If I feed the relay a battery/chassis ground the relay remains fired. Same issue with the A/C clutch. Wire schematics show the ground hitting the ECU, Possible cause?

Are you saying the fan does not kick on when overheating?

Otherwise fan operation isnt exactly consistent. Has to be at a certain temp with and without AC

97 and later, both relays are grounded by the pcm when needed.
