Finally got some time to get back to this. Cabin heater is working, so not the pump. I also tested the fuses and relays for the radiator fans. They tested fine. I did a bit of research and found out about the green connectors under the steering column used for diagnostics. When I plugged that in and turned the key I heard lots of noises and clicking. The radiator fans were working. I dug into the engine to find the temp switch, per Imdew's suggestion on 3-14-2025, which I believe is also called a coolant temperature sensor. It's kinda buried underneath alot of wiring. I unplugged quite a few electrical connections to give myself enough slack to get to the coolant temperature sensor. I was able to access it and unplug its electrical connection. There was a small hose I wanted to remove to get better access for the wrench, and when I put my hands on it I realized it was broken. See attached photos (#1 and #2). I put a circle around the sensor and a rectangle around the hose. Unfortunately, the plastic nipple is broken. I think I'll need to replace the part the nipple is connected to. Hopefully not, but my gut says that's the way it's gonna go down. Anyone know what this part is? The hose that connects to it goes under the intake manifold and then travels off toward the driver's side of the vehicle. For reference, there is another black nipple to the left of the broken one (see photos #1 and #2). It's intact. The hose that connects to it travels up past the coil. The attached photo (#3) shows a wide view of the hose/nipple that's broken (bordered with a rectangle) and the connection past the coil with a triangle.
