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 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.
