The relay box that sits in the front left fender is missing the cover and the unit is shorting out. I am having a problem finding a replacement part. What is the exact name for this part?

Good evening,

Can you post a picture of the part for me to see? I need to see what you are seeing.

Here they are. I tried doing this with the original post but it wouldn't let me.

Okay, been looking for that part number and nothing comes up.

That is a relay holder but what makes you think that it is bad?

It has been an ongoing problem. Check engine light went on and the code that came up was for the cooling fan. When my mechanic checked into it, he found that the cover to the box was not on (apparently the car was in an accident before I purchased it) and it was corroded inside. So they need to replace the whole unit. We were trying to find it used possibly but it's been very difficult to find. My mechanic told me its a relay box but when I search that nothing comes up that looks like that.

I would go to a dealer parts department and take the part with you. They should be able to give you the part number and then you can search it on the internet or a junkyard.

That's pretty much where we are at now. I contacted our local dealer already. Thanks for your input.
