After car sets for a day or two the battery is dead. Something is draining it. When we unplug the radiator fan and plug it back in the tester light brightens. Could this be a relay if so where is the relay located?

Hello, you need to make sure the battery has a full charge and the charging system is working ok.

As far as the drain, you need to check amp draw. I don't have the exact specs for your vehicle. On some makes and models it is well less than half an amp. Have you look around your vehicle in the dark, may be a lite on, under the hood--in the trunk--interior--glove box? Your owners manual should give you the location of all fuses and relays.
