Small black box in front of battery
The engine computer uses the signal from the coolant temperature sensor to decide when to activate the radiator fan relay.
The coolant fan relay on a 1988 Chevy Celebrity with 2.8L V6 is on the radiator support bracket behind the right hand headlights.
bad fan or bad fan relay
Chances are the TCS temprature coolant sensor has gone faulty. This will cause the cooling fan to run witha cold engine
The fan relay will be located in the PDB box in the engine compartment. The relay is controlled by the coolant temp sensor and the computer. Hope this helps.
on a 1999 jeep grand cherokee where is the coolant fan relay
Depending on the engine, check coolant relay and temp sensor that triggers that relay
I assume you are asking about the coolant fan. The switch is a relay located on the radiator support bracket on the passenger side of the vehicle. There is also a fuse near the relay. The engine control module, computer, operates the relay. There is a temperature sensor at the bottom of the thermostat housing that the engine control module reads the coolant temperature from. Any of those being defective can cause the coolant fan not to work. Of course the fan itself can also be defective as well as any of the associated wiring. The coolant fan should be turned on when the coolant temperature reaches about 220 and will stop when the temperature is below 200. l
in the engine compartment next to the coolant reservoir along with it's 60amp fuse
jump power from the battery to the fan directly to see if the fan operates. if not, replace fan. interchange another relay with the fan relay to check the relay. there are usually the exact same relay located in the engine bay.
Right behind the headlights on the passenger side of the car.
The engine computer uses the readings from the engine coolant temperature sensor and AC pressure to decide when to run the fan. The engine computer activates a relay that is mounted under the air cleaner box to power the fan. The engine coolant temperature sensor is located next to where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine.
