OK so that mystery is solved.
I have the right fan relay in it now.. so I guess autozone/orileys are just bringing up the wrong info on my relays.
so Idk what is next.. first off How do I jump it just to make sure my fan motor works correctly? I know I need to do that to see if it works before I fight with more wiring.
by the way I am very very thankful for the help you guys are offering me. I'm sorry If I'm being a pain.. I know NOTHING about electricals and very minimal about mechanical but I'm eager and willing to learn.

That's it in a nut shell that guy shows you the average joe way . Which is the best plain and simple .He has a vacuum leak test but instead of a smoke machine he uses a ccigar. I lmao but it works.

I found the plug. in factory location still connected to the rad support. i unplugged and jumped it to the batter so the fan does indeed work.
ok so next on the list is what... coolant sensor thingy,,. guess I need to re watch this vid again lol .. I did the last thing on his list first and apparently didn't work.

ok so..
fan motor - check
relay - check
fuse? (wait,.. isn't there an obvious fuse on the inside of the truck under the dash??)
cooling fan switch (it cut off .. do I jump the plug or the switch that is in the tstat housing??) also just simply negative bat post ran to the neg of the switch (or?!) plug

I would check all fuses for power in and out first don't think id put batter juice to the plug from it might fry something . Then check for current at relay socket. Check both fuse boxes

Replace the fan clutch first chance you get.
