★ Top Answer
In the 2005 Chevy Silverado, you can find the cooling fan relays under the hood next to the main fuse box. There are three relays that control the GM cooling fans, housed in a separate box on the driver's side of the engine bay near the large fuse compartment. Signs of relay failure include the fans not moving, the engine overheating, lack of cool air from the AC, and both the "check engine" and temperature warning lights turning on. Drivers can typically purchase and fix relays for less than $20 each. If the repair is more complicated, it may involve replacing a faulty thermostat or the fan motor. The cost to replace the thermostat ranges from $175 to $200 in parts and labor, while restoring the fan motor can cost between $450 and $500 in parts and labor.

The relays could be placed on top of the back bend of the inner fender on the driver's side where rust often occurs. The relay junction box has a bottom that is open and fully exposed to water and dirt from the road. Check for significant corrosion on all connection points and the power bar before issues arise.
