Good video helping my neighbor out now I can go check some stuff on is 3.6 journey. Don’t have a part number for the new relay? It would be awesome to include in the vid description. Thank you
Thanks so much for this video. (2010 Dodge Journey 3.5 XLT) After the video I quickly confirmed that my fan is not jumping up the the higher speed (comes on at 219°, but no change at 230° and above). I removed the high speed relay and tested it and it is fine. So I now deduce that there's no power coming to the relay. Not sure how to check and fix that, but if I were to run 2 wires into my car with a switch to jump across the connectors like you did (8:15 in your video) when it gets to 230°, (I know it's risky, but I'm willing to take the risk now that I've been overheating for months), QUESTION - would doing that fry something else that is supposed to turn off when the fan ramps up to high speed? Thanks for any help you can give. A copy of the schematic would help too. I'll see if I can get that without a proper mechanic's account or something. Cheers!
Super help mines doing the same and I haven't got the really yet but I'm heading out tomorrow to get and if it still not working then I'll do the switch
PaycheckMonster....i'm having a similar issue with my 2014 Dodge Avenger. I saw that the guage was rising and slightly overheating. I noticed that only 1 of 2 fans was operating. The passenger side fan wasn't working but the driver side fan was. I ever so gently tapped the fan with a low grade mini hammer. It kicked in. But now the driver side fan isn't working. Could this be a relay issue? I've seen many videos where you can inner change the relays in order to determine if the fan relay is faulty. This is done with the car on, correct? Grade video. Thanks.
If you tapped on the actual fan motor and it started running. It could be the motor itself. You should be able to switch the relays as long as they are the same. Dodge like to integrate the low speed relay in the power module a lot of times. If it has 2 fans, it usually uses a low speed fan first, like when condenser cooling is needed for a/c operation, then when engine temp gets above the thermostat regulating temp the high speed will kick in.
My 2010 dodge is doing this. But when replaced a day it’s cooked I’ve went through three of these and I tried a new fan that worked for a week in half. And is still burning up my high speed relay. I don’t know what else to do? Have you came into this issue at all? Where you replace the relay and it still fries?
Make sure to check the connector. If there is high resistance from a bad connection it will build heat and start to melt your relay and connector. Check the fan side as well. Check fan operation. Is it turning on and off to cool the radiator or is the engine running hot and the fan runs constant without shutting off. Some things to check. Thanks for watching!!
Most of the time it’s high resistance in the contacts within the relay. After so many times cycling off and on, the contacts start to get a build up. High amp draw from the fan motor can also cause issues.
@@paycheckmonster is that the same relay they use on the 2013 dodge avenger 3.6 sxt?. I am getting power to the main but no power any where else with key on.
my friend had a 2012 journey with no fan when a/c engaged and no low speed fan....but high speed works fine when engine is hot...anyone have suggestions?
Well, it certainly pays to start at the beginning and not shortcutting to an end.
Ur Tops PM. Thanks for educational video 👍

Super helpful video. Thanks a bunch. From all of us even those who didn't take the time to thank you! From Florida.
I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching!!

@@paycheckmonster ... Thanks Paycheck. Once again, your video is very informative.
is a cooling fan always supposed to be on from when it starts to when it shuts off?
It should cycle on and off depending on coolant temp and a/c system pressures. Thanks for watching!!
What causes it to run the fan when the car is off?
Fan control is shorted to constant 12v circuit. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks it help me but I have a next problem my van dodge caravan 2015 when stop at van stall pl help me
Saludos de México, buen material
So what caused the relay to melt to begin with?
Most of the time it’s high resistance in the contacts within the relay. After so many times cycling off and on, the contacts start to get a build up. High amp draw from the fan motor can also cause issues.
I am trying to find the High relay for my 2014 grand caravan 3.6. The van starts to overheat when I'm sitting idle. The fan never speeds up.
Should be just to left of the radiator. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
so I assume you have the ignition switch on ro are those supposed to b
e constant all the time?
You need the key on to do the active testing with the scanner. The relay power is hot at all times.
@@paycheckmonster is that the same relay they use on the 2013 dodge avenger 3.6 sxt?. I am getting power to the main but no power any where else with key on.
Hello sir i'm from Indonesia, please help me this's a problem Dtc P0691?
