On the left(driver's) side of the lower rad support. It's a small flat relay with a plug on the bottom and usually has a blue colored front. held on by two screws. Also, there may be more rad fan relays in the underhood fuse/relay box.
Good luck.

This may be a late posting, however for future neon fan relay searchers just look under the battery tray. Remove the battery and battery tray then it will be located on the same wall as the two bolts that hold the bottom of the battery tray. Just before the radiator. Its tough to catch but u can access it from the bottom of the vehicle also. its much simpler just to remove the battery tray. Hope this helps.

I was in a minor fender bender ( bumped the car in front of me and did little cosmotic damage.) After that my check engine light came on. The code is P1491 Manufacturer Control Axillary Emissions...

The DTC (Data Trouble Code) P1491 for Chrysler-Jeep is for the Radiator Fan Control Relay Circuit, and the radiator fan control relay is located between the radiator and the AC condenser, and there is the possibility that a collision could have damaged the radiator control relay or the wiring. Here is an image of a chrysler radiator control relay to help assist you.

I have a 98 plymouth neon (DHOC) that runs hot.

Take rad cap off when cool & run it for a while with the heater on (not defrost) and top up coolant as needed in rad, about an inch or 2 from top of rad. Let it run until you see rad fan come on & off about 2 or 3 times at operating temperature. Then replace cap, top up return bottle to proper level, and try that. Probably still air in system. If that doesn't cure it, I'd look at faulty or incorrectly installed thermostat, which would be a trip to shop that installed it, if it were me.

1998 plymouth neon fan and asd relay circuits

You will need to locate the fuse panel that is inside the engine compartment. You will find it as a black rectangular box just above the battery. open the cover by squeezing the two clips loated on the right side of the lid (or was thet the left? I forget.) and opening the lid like a book cover. Voila! See those little grey (or black) "cubes"? Look at the inside of the lid cover. The "AUTO SHUT DOWN" and "RAD FAN" relays are posted as they are laid out. (The cover CAN be removed if it helps you)
