Your a life changer! My car was overheading and a street mechanic told me head gasket was the problem.. I literally been stressed out. Come to find out, my co worker told me it was my relay fan the whole time. A $28 part! Thank you man for showing me where it is!

That Fan Relay is the High Speed Fan Relay , it is controlled by the TIPM fuse M34 and also the Run Relay in the TIPM must be good, the Lo Speed Fan Relay is in the TIPM and J19 60 AMP fuses powers that, what happens is when the Lo Fan Relay turns on it powers through the resistor to the Fan, the High Speed Relay powers the Fan directly.

This fixed my over heating bc it stopped the second speed on the cooling fan from coming on. Thank you

@stix562 Ай бұрын

This is the High Speed Fan Relay. Your car should stay cool even with the low speed fan running. You probably have an issue with the low speed circuit as well K11 is the relay however it is controlled by the TIPM .. it might not be turned on. The High speed bypasses the resistor - the low speed goes through the resistor. That is the difference. Your resistor could be open, or your TIPM could be preventing the Lo Speed from running. I know by experience the car should and will stay cool in 100 degree heat and AC running and at a light ..The Air-conditioning may not work very well - but the car will stay at around 215 degrees or lower . One thing I did on my vehicle was get rid of the plastic thermostat housing and thermostat ..

Good video. The only relay you mentioned does not have any metal heat sink fins, which is shown often for other years. For this year (2010) of Dodge Grand Caravan, is there only one relay as you show? Do you ever see when a relay seems to be working by using electric test meter, but does not seem to be working when installed in car?

@slimsherman5818 7 күн бұрын

Would that be the same on an 05 Caravan or does mine have one located somewhere else with metal looking fins, Thanks

@KRRCRaceResults Ай бұрын

I had the same symptoms - overheating. Followed what you did and the fan worked when I jumpered the connector like you did. I replaced the relay, but the fan still doesn't come on when it overheats. What to check for next? Thanks!

@jimdonnelly2780 28 күн бұрын

I’m guessing a bad temperature sensor not telling the computer the coolant is getting hot.

@KRRCRaceResults 28 күн бұрын

@jimdonnelly2780 the temperature gauge on the dash appears to be working properly, showing an overheating condition when stuck at a long traffic light, and cooling back down once I start moving again. Would the temp sensor you're referring to be different from the one that the gauge on the dash uses? Thanks!
