Some of the above vehicles may experience an inoperative or an intermittent operating engine cooling fan.
This condition may be caused by a damaged (bent or deformed) terminal on the red #2 circuit wire in the cooling fan relay connector. This red #2 circuit
wire is located in either cavity D or E of the connector, depending on the make of vehicle and the harness and relay that is used.
To repair this condition the following procedure should be followed:

Disconnect cooling fan relay.
3.
Remove the red #2 circuit wire terminal from cavity D or E of the connector. Inspect the terminal for damage in the area shown on the illustration.
