Where to start...

I recently bought my new Evo 8 and was told that one of the 2 radiator fans is not working. He said it could either be the relay, the ecu, or the fan itself. Where should I even start? It's not really hurting right now, but when summer rolls around I'll want both fans in full swing..

Please help! I know it's a bit of a non-descript post, but I'm hoping I can get the ball rolling on fixing this up..

 

i wpuld def start frst with the relay, its the easiest to check and prob whats worng

 

will do.. if the relay IS bad.. how would I replace/fix such?

 

i believe it depends on what type of relay it is, but im pretty sure you can bring it in to an autoparts store and they might have a new one

 

for some reason.. I know what a relay looks like but the diagram makes it look like its just a part of a plug.. wtf.

Speaking of which, an even more newb question.. where the heck do I even find the fan relay!?

 

Check the Fan control box that is mounted to the back of the fan in the engine compartment. Sometimes they go bad.

pm'd ya for details.. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at/for.. and even if I do find it, I have no idea what a bad one would look like.

 

I have a OEM fand and controller assembly if you need one PM me

 

pm'd ya.. although at this point I dunno what I need.. will I still need these fans if I end up goin with a koyo radiator?
