The fan is good but not coming on > The fan motor relay is good but not activating > The ground wire coming into the relay socket (that operates the relay - not the fan) meters 14VDC to the positive wire that operates the fan motor relay until the relay is plugged into the socket >>> The the voltage drops to ZERO. Any suggestions?

Actually, I believe that you my have misunderstood my question. Please, let me try again!
I removed the relay and metered the terminals on the relay socket (not the relay) The two terminals that supply voltage to the relay's coil have 14VDC (the relay has no voltage because it is unplugged but the relay's socket has voltage that it "feeds" to the relay. I tested the socket with a good relay, test leads, and a volt-meter. The test leads allowed me to connect the relay coil to the socket and in such a way that I could also meter the voltage at the same time. The voltage is zero volts when the relay is connected to the socket and 14VDC when the relay is disconnected from the socket.
I hope this makes sense...
Do you have any thoughts?
