Check AutoZone repair site for location of relay. Use a multicenter to check power to switch and check for blown fuse at fuse panel and master panel under the hood.

It could be several things. To really troubleshoot, you need expert advice. Get a Haynes Repair Manual from your local Auto Zone or other parts store and it has complete step by step instructions with pictures to repair or replace just about anything on your auto. It's the best $25 you will spend.

SOURCE: Radiator cooling fan fuse location for Ford Taurus

The cooling fan on a ford car usually does not have a fuse. The cooling fans are controlled by a relay in the power distribution box inside the engine compartment. The box is usually located near the battery. Your owners manual should have a guide showing you what each relay in the box is for.

SOURCE: '96 f150,4.9 six,dual fuel tanks,replaced front

I have a 1996 f150 and I had the same problem. I finally found out that the rear fuel pump is the main pump, and if it goes out then the front pump will not work either. There is a groud that both pump share on the rear cross member. If you are not getting good connection with the ground the fuel pumps will not work. Also if you replace the rear pump and it still does not work then your problem could be the fuel tank selector switch, it acts as a relay if it goes out then neither pump will work.

I have a 2000 l series saturn and the heat wont come on anymore...2 times when i turned the key off the heating kept blowing... now it wont turn on
Hi, here are some possible solutions for you. When the heater was staying on, the relay was probably stuck on. This normally indicates the relay is shorted, but this can also be caused by the body control module. When it finally stopped, it could be that the relay burned open or the 30 amp IGN 3 fuse burned under the hood. What I suggest first is to check the fuse and replace it if burned. This will probably leave the fan on again, if it was burned. Next, pull the relay out of the socket in the interior fuse box--the fan should stop. Push the relay back in--does it click? If the relay doesn't click when pulled in and out but the fan goes on and off, the relay is shorted and needs to be replaced. I'm assuming your lower blower settings don't work either. Those are a different circuit. Check the 15 amp HVAC fuse under the hood for those. If that fuse is good, the resistor has likely failed. Sorry, but I don't know where the resistor is on your car. It will be somewhere between the motor and the switch, and it's mounted in the heater housing with wires coming out--some go to the motor and some to the control panel.Take it out and inspect for heat damage. If no heat damage, check it for continuity. It's also possible that the switch is bad, but that would not cause the blower to stay on.
Please let me know what you find out and I'll be happy to guide you through the troubleshooting.

Wher is the Fan Relay Switch
The fan relay switch is actually located on the electrical fan. There will be a fuse for this under the hood and under the dashboard, drivers side interior in most cases. You can isolate the problem by using some sires to create a connection between the battery and the fan to identify if the problem is before or after the hood fuse, the fan itself or fuse under the dashboard.

My saturn over heats only when i have the ac off
Check for a fuse that is blown first.Then look for a cooling fan relay.Check the relay to see if it will turn on the fan,by using a test light.Clip the end on the test light to a good ground,maybe the ground on the battery.While the car is running,pull the fan relay out just a little so you can touch the prongs on the relay with the test light pointed end.When you touch the right prong,the fan will come on.The test light is actually grounding the relay.This is the safe way to activate the relay without damaging the relay circuit.If the relay clicks,and the fan comes on,replace the coolant sensor.If the fan does not come on,and the relay clicks,then run a hot wire to the positive wire on the fan to see if it will work.If you don`t get the fan to run that way,and you are sure the fan is hooked up correctly,then replace the cooling fan.If you cannot get the relay to click,and the fan is good(because you have checked it)replace the relay.If I can help,let me know.

2001 Kia Rio Electrical
Hello, Im Ron . Im going to Try to Help you Here. First the Cooling Fan. The Cooling Fan has A Micro-Relay # 37 In the Fuse/Relay Box UNDER_-HOOD IN this type Circuit You Have 3 Step Process to Control the Fan, 1 is the Temperature Sensor, 2 Is the Relay, 3 is the Fan. When Engine Gets Up to Operating temp. 220 Degrees the Sensor Grounds out & signals ECM of Engine
Temp and ECM Tickles the Relay to Turn ON the Fan.

In your Case I would RULE OUT Poor + Terminal Connections @ Battery Accessory Cables. AND Poor - Terminal @ Battery & Or Body Ground
THEN Test the Fan By BYPASSING to it With a Test wire With A + wire to the + side of Fan this is to Make Sure it Works .
Some Techs. Replace Sensor and Relay as A Pair Sense the Two are Fairly Inexpensive, but usualy you can Hear & or Feel the Relay "CLICK" If None Replace it. Shift Lock, Theres A Soliniod at Shifter that Unlocks ti WHEN you Apply the BRAKE, it is Controled By the Brakelight Switch.

I Strongly Suggest That you Check All Harness's From Battery to Interior, & Fuse Box.
I Know this seems Wild But With Limited Resorces & Lititure to work from this Is Where I Go.
