The cooling fan relay on a 1996 to 2000 Plymouth Voyager The SSFR (Solid State Fan Relay) Cooling fan relay is located on the left front inner frame just behind the radiator. The radiator coolant fan relay is located on the inside front of the engine compartment near the left headlight assembly. You have to remove the air filter assembly, then look for a simple square relay with 4 wires running into it. It is mounted with 2 screws. It is the only relay at that location. If it has burned, you will need to replace the pigtail wiring harness.

Remove the air box beside the battery a 10 mm bolt and the relay is a four prong square box bolted on the frame with two 8mm bolts

Remove the air filter housing, you will see the relay attached to the inside of the frame just behind the rad.

SOURCE: changed radiator fan relay but fan still doesn't

What year is the vehicle? Your coolant temperature sensor may be bad which indicates the system when to turn the electric fan on and off with engine temperature and also a a/c clutch switch that turns the fan on with a/c usage. If the temperature sensor is not operating properly your fan will not come on. Depending on the year, you may have TWO sensors; one is for gauge operation and the other for the PCM and the fan, also known as the ECT (engine coolant temp). It should be a fairly cheap part.

Good luck!

SOURCE: Radiator fan will not run but motor is good

On the drivers side in front of the battery there's a black box i think it says fuse turn counter clockwise the black star looking thing on top of the box when it is loose remove cover there should be two relays one is for the fan and other for ac the inside of cover should identify everything fuses etc. You could try turning on AC that should turn on radiator fan.

SOURCE: Both radiator fans stopped working.

Fan relay is either behind driverside headlight or directly beneath that spot next to the radiator, does not look like a regular relay because it is electronic. Behind headlight it's riveted to body. Underneath it has a screw 7 or 8mm kind of hard to get to because of the air filter box and radiator. Common Problem with these vehicles. Turn on the a/c to test quickly after replacement but also make sure the temp sensor activates it about 15-20 minutes later.

SOURCE: Radiator fan not operating, radiator fan relay

Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee

The Radiator Cooling Fan Relay Switch for a 2003 Jeep Cherokee is located behind the bumper on the passenger side underneath the headlight.
There are two ways of accessing it:
1. Remove the bumper.
2. Remove the pasenger side headlight assembly and cut a hole in the plastic underneatch click on the link below for more info.

The relay seems to be a common replacement item for this vehicle. One cause of the failure is that the relay overheats, per a note inserted in the replacement part packaging.

The cutout method is used by dealers. In one vehicle, the relay failed again after 40,000 miles or so. While replacing the relay it was noted that it was secured by one screw and it was not tight. This did not provide thermal contact with the chassis which helps cool the relay. The cause of the second failure was likely due to improper installation. Trying to work through a cutout would seem to make it difficult to get both screw isntalled securely. Furthermore, the new parts today use steel pop rivets for installation to help guarantee it will maintain proper thermal contact with the chassis. The pop rivets cannot be isntalled without removing the bumper.

It is not difficult to remove the bumper and grill to get to the relay. It sounds like a big deal but you are talking a half dozen screws and less than a dozen plastic rivets. The act of cutting a hole and working in cramped quarters has to be more difficult and it does not provide as quality a job.

Hope help with this (remember rated this post).

Radiator fans randomly shut off

  • Relays carry high-amperage current controlled by a low-current switch
  • When a faulty relay is not replaced, the circuit will either be non-functional or remain engaged. here's your relay you need.

My car is running hot what could the problem be some say the radiator fan motor and some say the relay switch help

The computer turns on the relay to power the fan motor.
You would need to test the relay to see if it is powering the fan and check the ground circuit for the fan motor too.
Could be a faulty fan motor, relay, or wiring problem.

What Switch or control makes the radiater fan come on? and need the diagram for the radiator control switch, 1993 saturn sl2.

Ok. The way your system is set up,you have a fan switch located in the engine block,usually near the top.That fan swtich sends the voltage to the fan motor or to a fan relay then to the motor.You can jump the fan motor directly to make sure the motor itself is not burned out by unplugging the motor and running a jumper wire from your battery pos terminal to the terminals on the fan motor itself..If you have checked the motor and it does work,then the easiest thing to do is simply replace the fan switch.You should have a Coolant temp switch and a radiator fan switch and possibly and Radiator fan relay.I would try the radiator switch first,then replace the relay.The coolant temp sensor is for the computer and usually doesnt tie into the radiator fan switch.try that and repost.Good luck

Renault laguna engine fan not coming on and engine overheats and red warning light comes on and says to stop. coolant ok but everything gets really hot. ok when doing long journey but not when stopping and...

Hi,
The problem would be the radiator cooling fan.
  • Check first the relay, interchange that relay from similar one in the fuse box in the engine compartment.
  • Check the radiator fan motor, pull down the fan motor and directly connect it to the battery.
  • Check the cooling fan thermo switch, it is located underneath/side of the radiator assembly. To check it, just get a paper clip and short the socket connector, fan should run if not the relay has a problem or the fan motor is already malfunctioning.
Hope that helps you out.
Tanks for asking FixYa!

Engine light came on and car is over heating. Took it to auto zone and was told it's the fan relay. Its a 2003 PT Cruiser, Turbo. I opened the fuse box under hood. There are 3 spots for relays in there...

Turbo Radiator Fan

The radiator cooling fan is a variable speed electric motor driven fan. The radiator fan assembly includes an electric motor, fan blade, and a support shroud that is attached to the radiator. The radiator fan is serviced as an assembly (fan motor/fan/shroud).

The variable speed radiator fan is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) by way of a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. The duty cycle ranges from 30% for low speed operation then ramps-up to 100% for high-speed operation. This fan control system provides infinitely variable fan speeds, allowing for improved fan noise, A/C performance, better engine cooling, and additional vehicle power.

To control radiator fan operation, the PCM looks at inputs from:

Engine coolant temperature
A/C pressure transducer
Ambient temperature
Vehicle speed
Transmission oil temperature (automatic transmission only

HENCE CHECK THE PCM

Radiator fan relay vs cooling fan

This sounds like the cooling fan motor was the real problem, when it does this the motor is partially shorted, this overheats the new fan relay and will burn it out, I think most likely they should have caught this when the fan relay was replaced, now the motor and the relay should be replaced, as the new relay may be damaged. Also make sure the electrical connector to the fan motor is not burnt, if it is then replace it along with the motor.
