The cooling fans will not turn off and so they drain the battery. I now remove a green fuse on top of the battery to turn the fans off. Can you please tell me where the relay is located at for the couling fans? Several people told me it is probably the reason why the fans are continously staying on. I just can not find the location of any relay tray or that particular relay. Or could the problem be caused by something else?

Does the car have A/C? If yes, could be a faulty temp sensor or a pressure switch.

The vehicle has a Coolant Fan Control Module that is located close to the bottom right area of the radiator (when viewed
from the front). You'll have to look from under the car to find it and possibly remove a plastic splash guard.
