Default Cooling fan not staying on

I really nees some help here folks. Basic background is, my cooling fan is wired up to a switch via the spliced blu/pink wire leading from the computer. Here's some more background:

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f89/cooling-fan-wiring-issue-226587/

Now, I have seen the fan come on via the switch and the a/c but it turns off almost immediately. I have even unplugged the coolant temp sensor and it still won't come on. I am getting proper voltage to the fuse/relay box and the fuses are good. I have yet to test the relay.

What could be next? Relay? Burnt wire? Bad connector?

I think you answered your own question. Test the relay.

It is an electromagnetic switch. And coming on for a moment or two, and then clicking back off would not be out of question for a relay that needs to be replaced. So it is a good next test step.
