Default Cooling fan relay

One week after buying my car the "check engine" light came on while driving on the freeway. All the gauges looked good so I didn't panic and got it to the nearest Autozone. They hooked it to the computer and the code said I had a bad cooling fan relay. There were actually 3 relays marked "cooling fan" so I replaced all three. Started the car back up and the check engine light was off - so GTG right? Unfortunately the very next day the check engine light came on again w/ the same code! Anybody have a similar problem of know where to go from here?

I might be having the same exact problem as you. One if the relays say cooling fans 2&3 and the other says cooling fan 1 I THINK. My cel has been on and off also. I also keep blowing the cooling fan fuse for #1. If i can remember correctly the code was ?P0480?

I'm sorry I can't seem to help you as I am also experiencing the same problem as yours. I already replaced my cooling fan relay but nothing happened it just keeps on coming back. Please can anyone help us out. Thanks.
