Default AC (Condensor Fan specifically)

03 Ram 1500

Ok, so my condenser fan doesn't come on when I start my system.
Here is what I've done thus far.

Checked the relay, its good.
Mulitmetered power all the way down to the fan, gets 12.7. From the battery
Jumped fan directly to the motor, it comes on.

Relay good, fan good, power to the system but no fan action. I have my wiring diagram but now entirely sure what to do next.

Im not ready to give up and go to a repair shop, kind of what to learn and do it. but its getting hot here in south ga!

You may still have a bad relay, 12v to a meter, but under load, it may not carry amperage.

Is the a/c compressor engaging? If not the fan won't come on
