It may not be the relay but the cooling fan itself failing intermittently, I had the same
problem with an 04 PT cruzer and the fan was intermittently failing (if the fan has an open frame on the motor water gets into the motor). I replaced the relay with no success
(located in the engine compartment as yours will most likely be). Once I replaced the
fan itself, the problem went away and the A/C functioned much better. Hope this helps.

Where are cooling relays?

Hello. Your car's cooling fan relays are somewhere in the fusebox/relay box. Also, your car has a 'fan switch' on the thermostat housing. If the 'fan switch' is in operable, the cooling fans won't work. It can be the thermostat housing seal/gasket. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Where is the fuse for motor fan in uplander 2006?

there is 2 fuses that you have to check
one will be in the big fuse assembly in the engine bay, the other probably in the fuse assembly in the cab
If they prove ok then it is possible that the coolant temperature SENSOR is faulty and needs replacing
don't confuse it with the temperature sender which operates the temp gauge.

What causes both cooling fans to not run?

Hi Naomi , there is a lot involved in the control of the cooling fans on your vehicle ! There are three fuse's , three relays an a fan control unit !
1. radiator fan main relay , located in underhood relay box A
2.condenser fan relay , located in underhood relay box A
3.radiator fan relay , located in underhood relay box C
4.Cooling fan fuse # 47 20amp. underhood fuse / relay box
5.condenser fan fuse # 50 20amp in underhood fuse / relay box.
Any one of these could cause them to not work, rather then just replacing parts an wasting money you should take it to the repair shop !

Ck engine light problem on 2001 Impala

Well the code is for the circuit - the computer commands the relay to turn the fan on and it doesn't happen.
The computer provides the ground for the relay.
If you have replaced the relay and the fan and the fuse still blows, I would look for a problem in the harness between the fuse box and the fan, including the ground circuit for the fan.
The fuse for the cooling fan is usually a 30amp marked "cooling fan" in the fuse box in the engine compartment.
Do you know what the 25amp fuse that is blowing is for ?

Cooling fans not coming on/1995 cadillac eldorado

there is a relay panel under the hood with your engine cooling fan relay inside, a 12 dollar part, sounds to me like this relay may need to be replaced. There will be a diagram in your owners manual telling you exactly where it is located in your car. It should be noted that this relay has to be activated before the current reaches any fuse inside the cars fuse panel so your fan fuses can all be good but if the relay is not working the engine cooling fans will not come on. Be careful of dealerships I had one tell me it was a 3000 dollar wiring problem when it was only the relay.
