Best Answer

The relay is more likely to fail than the fan. Easiest way to check is to disconnect the electrical connection to the fan and hook it up to two substitute wires ... one to the battery and the other to a ground.

If the fan runs, you know it works, so your problem is either in the relay, the wiring, or a temperature sensor.

I am the one who asked this question. After two 2 days the radiator fans failed to come on. The fan relay was defective and I replaced it. Advice; if your radiator fans run continuously (more then 20 min) after the engine is turned off, highly consider buying a new fan relay. That is what I did and when the fans stopped working I had the part handy. The radiator fan relay fan relay is located driver side, between the radiator and the head lights. Remove the air filter container to access it.
