Overheating, radiator fans aren't running.

I've been reading all night and morning on here and haven't found many answers specifically on causes of the rad fans to stop working.
I got the red triangle last week in traffic while it was quite hot out and the AC was running full blast. Upon inspecting the condenser I realized it was incredibly neat up especially on the lower half from rocks and bugs and whatnot. Last weekend I replaced the condenser to free up airflow to the radiator and figured that was my reason for the overheating issue since hardly any air was able to get to the inverter part of the radiator. I haven't recharged the AC yet but it's all hooked up.
I've been driving regularly with no issues until yesterday while o was driving around in Colorado Springs. Heading up some of the longer mountain roads there were no issues. Until of course at the top I had to stop and shortly after I got the triangle again. That's when I realized it must be radiator fan issues since the car runs great as long as I'm moving. I drove back home with no issues again after resetting the ecu. This morning I checked the RDI and ECU-IG fuses and they were fine. Inverter pump is working. Radiator coolant is full in the overflow tank and the radiator. It's gotta be the fans. So I'm trying to figure out how many coolant temp sensors we have and where they are and also how many fan relays and where they are? I did run my engine in diagnostic mode where the engine won't shut off this morning for around 7-10 mins and the fans never kicked on although I could smell that the engine was getting hot. Oil is not milky and the coolant being full makes me rule out head gasket issues at this point.

 

I would guess its not the Tstat since the car has no issues when it's moving and has that airflow over the radiator. Although if I have to replace anything that actually has to do with the coolants where I'll have to bleed it, that would be a great time to replace the thermo since it's pretty old now.

 

Which slot of the 4 will the positive wire go to for these terminals?

I checked the water pump the best I could without taking the car apart and it appears to be dry. The belt was replaced last summer and appears to be in decent condition still, I also wiggled the pump shaft back and forth and felt no play in it. I've never seen a belt go bad in just one year but I'm going to try to get a better look at it to check for cracking or reasons it wouldn't spin the water pump.

Question: I know cars with regular AC compressors have the compressor clutch which can sometimes prevent the compressor from running without it being charged. If my AC is not charged yet and I run the AC with the car on, will the radiator fans run, or will they remain off because the car knows there is no charge? I ask because I turned the AC on last night to check for current at the fans and there was none. So if the fans would still spin even without the charge then I'm now sure there is no power getting to the fans.

 

Okay thanks. I'll have to do the relay jump to check for the fan status. thanks.

 

I have to say this is getting rather annoying. I had my AC charged today and it's been confirmed the radiator fans work great. I also had the tech run my diagnostics with techstream and he confirmed the fans come on when the water temp is at 181 or so. He also confirmed the 3 way valve is working and he found no codes that would give clues to the issues. Ran the AC on medium the entire way home, parked the car and turned it off, with no lights on the dash. Grabbed some lunch and when I came out to go to work the dash was lit up with the typical triangle!. He said he didn't think the symptoms of this issue sounds like overheating but it only happens on hot days when the AC is on or a lot of city driving on said hot days. I bought a techstream myself but found out today that it won't work on windows 10 which is just fantastic. The guys at the hybrid shop were really knowledgeable so I'm kinda screwed until I can get a computer to run techstream and pull the codes and diagnotics once the red triangle pops on since the codes apparently disappear upon pulling the ground of the 12v.

 

I've heard of that but I can't do it since the laptop isn't mine. I'm going to do what edthefox below you said. I'm just going to buy an ancient pos junk laptop with xp as the os and put it on there. Thanks for the suggestion.

Agreed it's not the AC, but the AC being on is contributing to the issue. It happens whenever the AC is running which makes me still think it's some kind of heat issue. I did get a tiny red car with the ! point right through it last time this code came up. Also, I was thinking about your idea and just buying some old pos laptop on Craigslist and using that. I really hope its the the HV battery but it could be the 12v since that's a couple years old. However when in diagnostic mode that 12v does register 14.1 I believe which is in the normal range. I really need to get that computer and replicate the error.
