I tested my fans today(or thought I did) on my 08 Box Base with my Durametric. When I activated the fans I only heard only the R side fan go on and it didn't sound that good, sounded sort of labored and then it stopped after a few moments. Didn't have to stop it with the durametric. Happened when I repeated the test. What is my next step? Thanks V

I saw the photo of this car you posted on another website, and it looks like it has taken a hit to the front end along with its other issues. The fans could either be jammed, or burnt out.  I would suggest pulling the bashed in front fascia and getting a good look at them to see if they turn freely by hand, which would also allow you to test them electrically.  As the car is an 08, these may be pulse width modulated controlled fans, and they can be pricey..........

Yeah, I had the bumper off briefly before I road tested it(really!) The bumper reinforcement piece was missing and one bracket for it was trashed. AC line a bit banged up.

No sign of damage near the fans. Are there 2 fans.. one on each side? Should the durametric turn both on together? Thanks V

There are two fans, and Durametric will turn them both on, but only if they are operable.  Check to see if the turn freely by hand.  You can also try by passing the system by unplugging the fans and applying power and ground to see if they run that way.
