electric fans only turn by diagnostic plug

well after thinking i had everything fixed i seen smoke from the front of car and noticed that the temp was climbing pretty quick so i shut car off and turned key back on to activate fans..when i heard no fans i instantly put my jumper wire back on diagnostic plug to activate them..since i knew fans worked from fooling with codes and such.

i checked all relays and pulled them one at a time and they killed each fan wired to said relay..

fuses were good

the project i did today was fix cut wires to ect pig tail..i know it works since the code is gone.

i just bought car a week ago and with weather i never checked fans plus the temp gauge was shot aswell..

i read all of the shbox schematics and from what i checked i'm not sure where else to look?...

iknow car has straight water in it..and a/c is removed..so what's my next direction?..
