Yes. Most cooling fans are controlled by a relay because they take too much current to be wired directly.
The cooling fan relay switch, on your 2002 Monte Carlo, is located on the back of the fan hub. You will need to open the engine compartment hood in order to see the relay switch.
radiator coolant switch, pcm coolant switch, relay , pcm , related circuitry or fuse.
== == Cooling fans are designed to start at 235 degrees
Check the thermal relay for the cooling fans.
Blown fuse, motor burnt up, or the fan relay switch is bad.
yes
coolant temp switch or fan relay are bad.
The cooling fan relays, there are three, are located in the fuse box under the hood above the battery.
It is mounted on the cooling fan assembly.
I would check the Cooling Fan Switch/Relay. Sounds like it is a bad switch and stays 'on' well after it is needed, if it is running the battery down.
it is either the cooling temp switch or the fans relays htere are two relay one for the regular fan and one for the air conditioning fan together they run about 80 dollars
To determine if the cooling fan relay is bad in a Ford Windstar, you can start by checking if the cooling fans activate when the engine reaches operating temperature. If the fans do not turn on, inspect the relay by swapping it with a similar relay in the fuse box to see if the fans operate. Additionally, you can use a multimeter to test for continuity across the relay terminals when it should be activated. If the relay fails these tests, it may need to be replaced.
