Unhappy Fan Control Module Problems

So I just replaced my fav control module due to overheating at idle and warm air conditioning. I bought the peice off ebay and once I put it in, the car ran great...Then a week later that one goes out on me. Car is doing the same thing as before..So the people i ordered it from said they'll send me another one. Is there any reason why 2 fan control modules take a **** on me? Something wrong with the wiring harnesses that are frying them? or sinario two it was just a bunk *** part? I'm thinking it was a re-furbished module but, I got it for $38 so you can't beat that..(instead of $150) =)

Did you check the fuses on top of the battery cause the same thing happened to me whenever I had to get my control fan module fixed kept frying the fuses on top of the battery so I ended up having to replace that part too

Ok, so another fan control module came yesterday and I put it in...When i put in the one before this one my air conditioning worked, radiator fans worked everything worked (until a week later)...But when I put this other new one in yesterday my Air coniditioning still didn't work and I didn't see or hear the radiator fans kick in..I drove my car around a little bit, but i didn't sit in traffic or anything to be able to know if the fans would kick in or not to prevent overheating...I checked all fuses and everything looks ok..Now i'm stumped. If anyone knows any other possible theory on why it's still acting up, plz let me know.

I never hear my radiator fan turn on. I guess it either never has to turn on or I never sit at idle long enough to turn on.

Alright sooo...I just got home from work and on my way I sit in traffic and it overheats. The fan control module has to be good because I just got it in the mail yesterday, sooo what else could it be? Maybe a wiring harness attached to the module?

Did you test the fans themselves ??? The fans could be talking out the modules !!!
