Out of the three fans, which ones are staying on, and which relay are you removing? Swap the relay that you are removing with one that is similar color/part number, and see what happens. For the cluster issues, check the HZD fuse in the fuse block that is under the knee bolster, under the steering wheel.

You didn't specify which fan(s) is/are staying on.
