I have been having trouble with the fan not wanting to turn off unless car is off , Temp will not rise . I call auto zone they tell me there is no Temp sensor for this make of car . So the only other thing I know to do is get a relay . They are so expensive .. But Need to know how to check the relay before I go buy a part that is not going to work either . Please get back with me asap thanks

Sorry, I wanted to add, if you have the 3.3 or 3.8L, the coolant temp sender is on the intake near the water outlet. They are about 25.00 dollars. AZ part # SU326. It's the same part for both engines.

I don't know if that will do it. I wanted to let you know they exist.
