Hello,
My Daughter's 2014 Patriot engine is overheating, after looking at it, found that fans are not working at all (low or high), 40 amps fuse is good, I can not seem to find relays for this, anyone knows location for relays?or there is no relays??


Thanks,
Estteban

On my 2008, there is a relay box under the battery tray on the inside fender. You should be able to reach it. There are fan relays in there.

I just experienced a problem where my radiator fans ran even with the car off and when I came out in the morning, the fans were running and my battery was dead. I had to disconnect the negative battery terminal to shut off the fan.

It ended up being a relay that had one of the pins/blades broken off cause of corrosion. Once I pulled the relay, the fans stopped turning. I haven't replaced the relay yet but #2 fan still works.

Your fans should kick on if you turn on the air conditioning.

Hm. Getting voltage at both and they spin freely? If they are getting voltage doesn't that mean that the relay is working? Maybe you should be looking for a bad ground. Have you tested the relay to see if it clicks on and off?
