Re: 1998 Grand Voyager - now it's overheating?
Dealer, internet, junkyard for the connector? Before this is over make sure neither of the fans is binding in any way. They could be blowing your relay. I've read of the wire harness chaffing and shorting under or near the battery.

*edit* I spun them by hand...and they both turn smoothly, but the one on the left sounds like the freewheel on a bike. I can definitely hear the bearings turning inside there, but as far as operation goes, it does spin freely. There are 4 wires on this connector, one is power from the battery, (2) wires to/from the fans, and the 4th is a ground. The connection that I have that is burned up is the gray line, which is the power coming in from the battery, which goes through a 40A fuse in the PDC. Fuse looks fine, isn't blow/but still shorting... Man, this sucks. We're supposed to go on vacation in a couple weeks, and now I'm considering renting a van for the trip. Unless, that is...I can jumper this switch so that the fans just run constantly?!?!?  Or is that a big  ???Can I just change that connector? I'm going back out to take a look at it. LOL.

Re: 1998 Grand Voyager - now it's overheating?
this was interesting.
I called the dealer and ordered the wiring harness. It was < $30 U.S. and was basically a connector kit, complete with rubber sealing sleeves and new wires. Since I had one burned up, I knew I was going to have to change this connector, so I went ahead and brought it home, and replaced it. Just for fun, I plugged the relay back in, and fired it up, with the AC blasting. The relay was fine...it was my burned up connector that was the culprit. Back up and running, and ready for the Christmas trip home to Indiana. Thanks again for everyone's replies.
