Hi was hoping for some help here...
Originally when this issue started check engine light came on and scanned and got a P0481, and a P0480.
Replaced the fan which was definitely not good.
Checked relays. Both the low speed on the TIPM and the one behind the front grill tested out OK.
Checked the fuses
Now getting P0481, P0693, and P0694. All cooling fan 2 error codes.
The fan runs at high speed for ~10 seconds after engine start with AC on, and does not come back on.
The fan also runs at low speed with AC on.
If I leave AC off all is good.
Once AC is on check engine comes on almost immediately.
I am afraid the next item might be the TIPM.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

@bcubed40 -So what exactly was wrong with your Tipm?

Im still having issues with my 2012 Rams condenser fan.
Still doesn't come on.
When defrost is turned on I get the same code as when I turn the AC on.
P0481.
I'm at the point now where I'm about to order an aftermarket fan control.
