Default Efan help!! Asap!

Well I'm trying to install my e-fan finally, and I've gotten it all wired up, and of course it isn't working I've got school tomorrow, so I need this thing up and running!

I've got a derale fan controller and procomp 16" fan, exact same as eric I believe. Everything should be hooked up right except for a few wires that I have no idea what I'm doing on:
The green over ride circuit, I crammed that one under the AC Clutch fuse.
The ignition wire, I've got that one tied into fuse #22, which I think is accessory.
The probe, it doesn't fit into the radiator fins.

When I turn the truck on, nothing happens. When I turn on the AC, nothing.
PLEASE HELP!

try running the a/c wire to an ignition source fuse and turn the ignition on and see if it cuts on...if not then it is probably a power or ground wire problem

Have you checked the wires coming from the controller to see if youre getting any power? Could be a defective fan.

And youll be fine driving with no fan as long as you dont drive in the city or make long stops. If you can get air moving under your hood, youll be good. Its the stops where the fans are needed.

Ok I got it working, but it doesn't pull nearly as much air as the stocker, my temps are noticeably higher. I made it come on whenever the truck is on, no AC override.

My engine runs just a little warmer since the e-fan install. When I get the money, I want to try blowns controller of choice.
Did you get the derail controller from autozone? I had to take my first one back after pulling my hair out for three hours, it was a bad part!
