Remove the front number. Ou will see it riveted to the bumper frame of the drivers side. If you remove the screws that holt the top of the bumper to the upper radiator cover and gently pull back on the grill part of the bumper you will see it.
NOPE YOU HAVE TO REMOVE FRONT FENDERS AND BUMPER COVER. REASON YOU HAVE TO REMOVE FENDERS AND BUMPER COVER.YOU CANT REMOVE RADIATOR HOSES AND REMOVE COOLING FANS.FENDERS AND BUMPER COVER IN THE WAY.
Fan relay is located under pass headlight. Remove light assembly, use 2 1/2 " hole saw to drill hole in plastic housing ,3"from back wall, 3'' from left side.This will put you right over relay. Unscrew two bolts,replace. Relay was $40.... dealer wanted$350 to remove front bumper to replace it.

Get it fixed by the other parties insurers. It will and should not cost you a cent. Failing that there are several non insured loss recoverers out there. Just search online.
the radiator fan relay does not look like a relay at all. on this car is a solid state relay meaning there are no moving parts. it is a black plastic box with small metal rods sticking out of it in a grid (for cooling). it is located on the metal bumper (not the one you see from front of vehicle, the one behind it) you can get to it by removing the grill or just taking out the top screws and pulling it back.
There is a sensor on the radiator that controls a relay to turn the fan
on. There is also a fuse in the fuse panel under the hood. Make sure
the radiator is full.
The Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) radiator cooling fan relay is located behind the front bumper fascia below the right headlamp a real pain to get at. supposed to take off bumper, grill, and r side headlamp assy. if youre crafty and have a mirror and you can locate this by eye. you can
"cheat" by using a hole saw to access relay and bolts. can be done without removing said items. be careful. and that will solve your cooling fan issues. common.
