Do you need both radiator fans?

Most fans should come on when the coolant reaches about 200 to 230 degrees. On many vehicles, there may be two fans: a main cooling fan for the radiator, and a second fan for the condenser. Both fans should come on when the A/C is on. The engine may also run hot and overheat, too.

The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a reference voltage to the engine coolant temperature sensor and monitors the return voltage. When it determines the engine requires cooling, it grounds the control coil in the radiator fan relay.

Where is the radiator fan relay on a Dodge Grand Caravan?
