The radiator fans (there are 2, neither one) turn on. I purchased a Haynes and the info states they both should if the air conditioner is on full time, or cycle per the temperature sensor. The Haynes shows a relay location in the power distribution box. This car has an ABS relay in that location, and no radiator fan relay anywhere. What controls the switching on and off of the radiator fans?

No wonder your fans don't come on. Your relay is missing. :D Sorry couldn't help myself. :oops:

Usually the lid for the fuse box has a diagram of the fuse and relay locations. Also your owners manual should list locations. The photo in my book shows it on the lid to be on the bottom row second from the left.

Good hunting and let us know. :)

Check the power distribution box lid diagram and the owner's manual for the radiator fan relay location. A reference photo places it on the bottom row, second from the left.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1999 Dodge Neon says neither radiator fan turns on. A Haynes manual says the fans should run with the air conditioner or cycle by the temperature sensor and shows a relay in the power distribution box, but that spot has an ABS relay and no fan relay is found. The expert jokes that the relay may be missing and advises checking the fuse box lid diagram and owner's manual; a book photo shows the relay on the bottom row, second from the left.
