It's an unnecessarily complicated module on the core support, next to the left side of the radiator, half way down. It must be bolted on to dissipate heat. It will get hot enough to burn your hand, and it will self destruct if allowed to overheat.

This module is used to vary the fan speed for various conditions. It is slowed down to prevent complaints of excessive fan noise. A lot of expense and unreliability to quiet a little noise.

Gentlemen,

Thanks in advance for your assistance! I'm replacing a radiator fan relay on a 2000 4cyl Dodge Caravan and can't get the relay unplugged from the harness. I'm afraid of damaging the connector which of course I'll need to connect the new relay.

Can you point me to an illustration or advise me on how to unplug the relay from the wiring harness? Also, once installed, if it functions properly, do I need to use the pigtail that comes with the new relay? I'd like to avoid the pigtail splicing if possible.

Thanks sincerely!

Chrisxx

Chances are it is hard to disconnect because it heated up and melted. It should pull out of the socket. As far as the pigtail, if they gave you one, there is a reason or update. If I'm correct and the original one melted down, you will want to replace it.

Let me know if you have other questions.

They gave you that new pigtail for a reason. They have a problem with the plugs melting on to the relay. Cut the wires and splice in the new pigtail.

Jacobandnicolas/Wrenchtech,

Thank you guys most sincerely for your prompt & informative response! Guess that eliminates any need to know how to unplug the relay from the harness.

Thanks again!
