2011 Ram 1500 Cooling Fan Issues po481

[jws123]

I just got done doing a camshaft job on a 2011 1500 5.7 everything is good so far however the a/c condenser/cooling fan Is not working code p0481 fan control circut/open. I jumped out the fan and it works so its good I checked all fuses and determined I have no power going to the green and black wire at the fan but have power to the blue wire that is not used plug has 3 wires but fan has 2. I can command the fan on with my scantool and hear the relay click swaped it out but no change no power on the 2 wires. I tried to trace the wires from the plug back to the tipm but cant figure out where they go i need to know where the power comes from for the fan any suggestions appreciated.

Guess no one has had this issue? Lol

Doesn't it get the signal from the ECM, check the connections.

So the signal from ECM is reaching the TIPM because the relay clicks just cant get power to the plug trying to find out where those wires go so i can test. I tried to trace em but goes into main harness will be a mess if i have to tear it all apart.

Are you sure the relay on the TPM is good can you use a jumper to bypass the relay, the relay is soldered onto the circuit board, much luck Sir!!!

There is a relay that says rad fan i swapped it out it clicks/has power is there another micro relay In the tipm like fuel pump relay?

Problem found a pin inside the TIPM corroded off.. only 1 rest of it looks great hopefully i can solder something back on/make it work going to replace the fuel pump relay while im in there as it was bad/bypassed new relay cost $10 I wil post some pics of the tipm once repaired.

How did it go replacing those micro relays on the circuit board ???
I have a 2012 Ram and the electric condenser fan doesn't come on when AC is activated...then I get engine code p0481

This tipm was shot found water damage un plug your tipm and see if the plugs/pins are clean. I have fixed the fuel relay many times on other rams its not that hard you just need a good solder gun with small tip. Also to confirm your fan is good send power directly to it and check for vlltage at the plug most of the time its the fan or fuse.
