My radiator cooling fan is running all of the time (even when car is off). I have been told it is likely the relay & know it is relay #13 or #15 per my manual & this post...
==========================
Does the fan come on even with the car totally cold? If so I'd do your diagnostics with the car cold it will be easier.
Check Pin # 4 on the high speed fan relay & pin # 8 on the low speed. Those should be relay #13 & 15, respectively.
If its shorted to ground that means you are getting signal from the temperature switch, replace. If no short to ground then the relay itself is bad.
==========================
How do I check the relays? I have a multimeter & I see the diagram on the side of the realy, but I don't know how to read it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
