The cooling fan would not shut off. I went to a local repair shop after finding out that the relay was behind the front bumper. The repair shop charged my $200.00 to replace the relay. 6 months later the relay went out again. I decided to find out how difficult it was to replace myself. It turns out the repair shop didn't remove the front bumper. They cut a hole in the plastic bumper under the left headlight to gain access the the relay. The new relay was $50. It still was a bit of a pain. The battery, battery tray, and headlight had to be removed. One thing to note: this is a solid state relay and they are prone to failing in the closed position which would cause the fan to stay on and run the battery down.
