My thermostat broke and the engine fan stopped.L replaced the thermostat and the heat sensor next to the thermostat, but the fan still won't come on. Where are the relays for the engine fan. An answer would be well appreciated, thank you.

Hello,

This vehicle has a control module for the cooling fan. It is located under the hood on the left side of the engine (see diagram below).
You might have a wiring issue for the non operational fans, it can also be just a faulty fan motor.

I have attached the cooling fan wiring diagrams and well as the fan replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
