Do you know anything about automotive electrical testing , viewing wiring diagrams an using a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter to test the circuits ? resistance in a circuit causes heat .Main cable to the fuse box . Testing using voltage drop is the way to find the problem . Learning how automotive electrical systems work is also a must if you want to fix electrical problems .

Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know
There are no inline fuse for the cooling fans , relay an fuse in the under hood fuse / relay box. Viewing a wiring diagram to see what all is involved in the control of the cooling fans an testing is how to find the problem , more then likely the relay is bad . But without testing that would be a guess . Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. Year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on engine , then under subsystem click on cooling fans . click the search button then the blue link .

Above is the diagram for a 4 cylinder. It appears that you might have a fusible link which looks like a regular wire instead of a regular fuse. If you have A/C on your car you can turn it on and this automatically should turn the cooling fan on. If I remember correctly these cars have problems with the Coolant temperature sensor located near the thermostat. It will have one yellow wire going to it. You can also try to swap the cooling fan relay with the horn relay or another relay that looks similar under the fuse block. There should be a diagram of the fuses and relays under the cover. Try with the engine off and key out try to turn the fan by hand. If it does not move freely the cooling fan motor is bad. Other than that you will have to bring to a shop to have the circuits tested... Good luck.

The cheapest and direct solution is to run a hot wire to the fan motor that comes on with the ignition. It will run whenever the car is turned on. This does not "fix" the problem, but it will keep the car's engine alive.

no, are you checking the lighter with the ignition in the run position?
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard equipment Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The molded plastic TIPM housing is located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the air cleaner housing and the battery. The TIPM housing has a molded plastic cover. The TIPM cover is easily removed for service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the cover to ensure proper component identification.
The TIPM housing is secured to the left inner fender well an indexing pin and one *****. All of the TIPM outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness.
