P0480 is Cooling Fan 1 control circuit malfunction.Possible causes.- Faulty fan control relay- Fan control relay harness is open or shorted- Fan control relay circuit poor electrical connection- Faulty cooling fan 1- Fan cooling fan harness is open or shorted- Fan cooling fan circuit poor electrical connectionP0633 is SKIM key not programmed in computer.Possible Causes.- SKIM module must be programmed into ECM- SKIM module defective
check fan relay/fan relay control module
It take a pulsed signal from the ECU via the purple wire, starts the fan and controls its speed.

The fan control module is inside the main (larger/left) fan motor. It requires replacement of the entire fan. Your secondary fan may still work. Bench test it to confirm.
The sensor that turns it on is on the water outlet. This sensor sends information to the Power Control Module (PCM) and it in turn sends a signal to the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM) under the intake housing which turns on the cooling fan on high or low depending on if the A/C is on.
The fan control module (FCM) as its is known industrially is can function as a relay or switch regulating the cooling fan operation. In some vehicles the FCM is relay between the engine control module (ECM) which turns on the fans as needed for cooling and when the air conditioning running. In other applications the FCM directly controls the cooling fans of the radiator based on temperature sensor readings. An FCM is critical component to keeping a vehicle from dangerous overheating breakdowns.
Answer:Is located right there next to the fan, on the radiator. The fan control module is inside the car, behind the glove box lid.
The high and low cooling fan relays in the 98 Ford Escortr are loacated in the CCRM (Constant Control Relay Module) which is located on the base of the drivers side strut tower underneath the air filter module. It is a small box with quite a number of wires running into it. It controls the fans, the AC compressor and the Power Control Module.
In my experience, most electric fans come on when the coolant temp sensor signals the computer to start cooling when the car has run up to temperature. Another factor is the fan relay/fan relay control module. I think just the fan clutch type start up with the engine.
The fan is controlled by the same computer that regulates the engine. It is usually called the Electronic Control Module. When the ECM is malfunctioning it sometimes will run the fan continuously.
The cooling fan relay is under the air filter housing at the base of the strut housing. It is a little box with about 30 wires running into it. It is called the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM). It contains relays for the cooling fan, Air Conditiloner and the Power Control Module. You might also want to know where the cooling fan sensor is at. It's screwed into the water outlet housing. The top hose of the radiator goes into it. It is one of 2 sensors. The sensor with 2 wires goes to the computer to run the cooling fan. The sensor with 1 wire goes to the gauge.
