1998 Neon Rad Fan not coming on

evt4 · #1 09-23-2006, 09:32 AM

I have a 1998 neon, Single OHC, Automatic, with the radiator fan not coming on. The check engine light came on and it read that the relay was bad, I replaced the realy and temp sensor, fan is still not working. I then replaced the computer with one from a used auto parts junkyard and the fan is still not coming on. If I power the fan directly it works.
Any thoughts and help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you check the fuse also?

Checked 30 amp fuse in engine compartment it's fine, are there others? If so where?
Thanks for the help

Which relay did you replace and where was it located?

I replaced the solid state relay under the battery and the fuse I checked is in the relay compartment. Am I missing a fuse?

You got all of them. Check the wiring now...you may have an expose wire shorting something out.

I had the same problem turns out it was a bad ground wire. It is located all the way up on the drivers side corner located right above the compter. There should be 4 wires going to 2 spade connectors. One wire is your fans, one is wipers, one is AC and I forget what the other is. Hope this may help.
