My engine was just cleaned, and after picking it up my radiator fan is not shutting off. I've disconnected the battery to temporarily solve the problem and am trying to figure out where the relay for the fan is. I've found the 'Power Distribution Center' and have a relay labeled 'Blower Motor Relay'. (The cover for the Power Distribution Center was unhinged upon popping my hood). I'm wondering if (1) Is this the relay I need to switch out, and (2) Is the engine cleaning the most likely culprit behind the relay's failure?

The cooling fan relay on the NS is a solid state that is screwed to the left fram rail just to the rear of the air filter. 2 8mm screws hld it place. It is very important that it is screwed to the chassis as this is how the heat from the relay is disapated.
