Thank you for all your help so far.
You need a multimeter that has that ability.

As far as power and ground, I guess one thing you could do is tie a wire connected to your body (ground) to one connector and tie a wire connected to a constant power source (like a fuse in your fuxe box...just take the fuse out, push the wire in the hole, then push the fuse in) for another.

Does it matter on which pin(B or D) I connect the power?

Doesn't look like it.

From what it seems there is no continuity on both relays(Condenser Fan and Compressor Fan Relays).What could have caused both relays to go bad?
Also,where can I buy them at a low price?

Are you sure you did this right? Pull a relay that you KNOW works and try it on that.

I will try it on the power window relay and see what happens.

Default I just had to put a R.H. fan motor in my '96 Accord,

I was fooled for a time, since the left fan came on and went off with the AC, so I figured that was the AC fan... (I had little cooling while sitting still) but when I turned the AC off one day to troubleshoot... I noticed that the L.H. fan came on when the engine heated up.... soooooo..... I unplugged the R.H. fan and applied battery voltage directly to the connector... it didn't spin. Replaced the R.H. fan and all has been well with my AC for over a month now.

ON EDIT: I believe that on my car BOTH fans run with the AC... could be wrong but I think I saw that, may have been a fluke... not sure right now, will check when car is cold tomorrow.

I should add that I purchased the R.H. fan for about 40$ at Oreilly's Auto Parts... rather than what I may have paid at the dealer.... it was made in Canada and works rather well....

Even though my AC doesn't work now,when the car gets hot,both fans go on so doesn't that mean that it can't be one of the fans that is the problem?

i still think is a relay problem. check the fuses under the driver side and check the fuse box under the hood. have a friend with u so he can help u detect the problem easier.

when the car gets h0t only one fan should go on. have ur temp gauge show is overheating but it isnt?
