How do I do "component activation" in GT1 manually?
We're talking about 2 different things... The AUX fan I was referring to is the electric fan in front of the radiator/condensor. There is no electric activation of the engine fan that is connected by the waterpump shaft. The clutch on that is thermostatically ativated by heat alone, and is designed to be released when not needed to reduce strain on the engine.

The clutch status you were seeing in status request was the compressor clutch, not fan clutch. In the control module functions you could click test modules or component activation (whatever it is called in the GT1 version you are using) and select auxillery fan or electric fan, whatever they call it in that version, and activate it. It usually gives you choises of 30%, 60% or 90% activation. I'd test all 3 output stages.
