Where is the fan relay located?
The fan relay is usually located near the bottom of the engine compartment on a metal frame member. The metal acts as a heat sink to keep the fan relay cool. So, unplug the connector at the relay and repeat the check for power.
Which relay is for radiator fan?
The cooling fan relay is normally located in either the underhood fuse and relay center or mounted to the electric fan assembly behind the radiator.

ELECTRIC COOLING FAN PROBLEMS
Defective temperature switch, coolant sensor or other sensor. Engine thermostat is stuck OPEN (engine never gets hot enough to turn on the fan) Faulty fan relay. A wiring problem (blown fuse, loose or corroded connector, shorts, opens, etc.)
What causes a fan relay to burn out?
If overvoltage is applied to the coil, the coil's insulating film will be destroyed, and short-circuiting will cause high temperature. The color of the coil will change, and the resin around the coil will melt.
What does a cooling fan control module do?
A cooling fan module helps to maintain a constant supply of fresh air into the cabin of a car by controlling the blower that supplies the air. When cool air is produced in the car's A/C system, the cooling fan module blows it into the car maintaining a fresh supply of air even when the windows are all rolled up.
