helo vhall- That's a new one to me. Most of the time when a car is tending to overheat, you think radiator, water pump, thermostat, belts, fan blade and even the engine control computer. I don't know about the relay. If I were you I would ask someone else to look at it for you. Good luck from Bovan.
