* Under the hood, in the Power Distribution Center (PDC): This is the most common location. The PDC is a large fuse and relay box, often near the battery or firewall. You'll need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram specifically for your vehicle's year and model to identify the correct relay. The diagram will show the relay's location within the PDC and often labels it clearly.
* Inside the passenger compartment fuse box: Less common for the cooling fan relay, but possible on some models. Again, your owner's manual or a wiring diagram is essential.
To find it, you'll need:
1. Your owner's manual: This is the best starting point. It should have a diagram of the fuse and relay boxes.
2. A wiring diagram: If the manual doesn't help, you can find a wiring diagram online (often for a small fee) through sites specializing in automotive repair information. Search for "1998 Chrysler Town & Country wiring diagram" and specify the engine size if necessary. This diagram will definitively show you where the relay is.
3. A flashlight: The fuse and relay boxes can be somewhat cramped and difficult to see clearly.
Important Note: Before working on any electrical components, disconnect the negative terminal of your battery to prevent accidental short circuits.
