You may be looking in the wrong place Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Cooling fan won't come on!!!!, Chris, Wed, 16 Jul 2003 04:45:00 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The relays that you are describing are the ones just in front of the battery, right? These control the lights, as you described. My car also has a few empty relay slots there - reserved for "future use" by the engineers I suppose. And by the way, relays do not usually disappear or fall out of their spots, but they do stop working occasionally, especially due to burned contacts.
Note that there is another relay panel, which on newer cars is behind the glovebox (or passenger airbag). I do not have a manual handy, but I would guess that the fan relay might be located there.
In any case, I would start looking for the problem by shorting out the radiator thermoswitch contacts to see if that's the problem. Be careful, as there is a high probability that the fan will start up when you do this, so keep your hands/clothes out of the way. If the fan startrs, that's your problem.
