I have determined that the radiator fans are inoperative due to failure of the radiator fans relay. I cannot locate the radiator fans relay under the hood. The radiator fans 40A fuse is located in the fuse/relay box above and to the right of the battery. Where is the radiator fans relay located?

There is not a relay this system uses a controller which is up by the fans on the drivers side. Here is the location in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Six cylinder two wheel drive automatic.

Cannot find relay. I have a 1999 and a 2000 Caravan. Cooling fans on 1999 do not turn on. I think it is the relay. Fans work.(Bench test) Looked on left side of frame in the front. Removed air filter housing, no relay. Understand it should be a two inch square. Followed wire, goes into large wire harness under the fuse and relay distribution box. Can you help? Tried a lot of people and got many answers, none good.

After never having any cooling problems with this van for almost ten years, I had to replace the radiator fan relay last week because the fans were only working intermittently, and were staying on after I turned the engine off. After installing the new relay, I am now having the same problems with the fans. Is it possible that I got a bad relay? Or is there another part that I should check that can be causing this? I have tried to retrieve a trouble code, and get two, pause, 55. I cannot find that code anywhere.

This would be due to a faulty fan motor. Replace the fan motor and clear any trouble codes stored. Using a diagnostic scanner is much easier in retrieving codes and most auto part stores will do this for you free of charge.

They are right. The codes indicate that your engine is running lean. The K&N air filter system might be contributing to that. That type of system tends to flow more volume than the stock system, and if the factory MAF sensor metering orifice is replaced with just a straight pipe then it will read lean.

Six cylinder two wheel drive automatic.

I have the part. The person I have to work on my car could not find it anywhere. AutoZone was no help either. They said they had no clue. Everywhere I have looked says different places.
All I want to know is Where is the radiator fan relay?

On my 1997 the relay is near the strut mount on the driver side. Remove the air filter boxes and it is under them to the side. I hope this helps. It took me awhile to find it when mine failed.

There is a box of relays in the engine compartment with a cover on it, it should be right inside there and on the back side of the cover is a diagram which describes which relay belongs to which component.

Does this model Dodge Grand Caravan have radiator fan relay(s) or just a radiator fan fuse? And if so, where is it located? The Haynes manual doesn't seem to give me a clue.

There is an electronic relay on the left front frame rail. It is a common failure.
