Default Fan problems! Plez help!!

Ok I had heat issues with my old motor, now i just put in a 408 and while doing so replaced EVERTHING. Dewitts, water pump, and termo and im still seeing temps a little higher then i should like in the 230 range.(I wont let it get past that) So I took it in the my dealer and had him check out the fans.... they told me i have a failure on the #1 fan. The company who did the motor install told me to replace the relay on the fan that is not working beofre I go and just buy a new set of fans. So the question is where is the damn relay and how do i replace it!? Any help would be apprecaited!

never had to go hunting for the fan relays...
...suspect Id find them in the fuse box under the hood...
...or as likely under the passenger floor board...

But I would have thought that the fan relay was for both fans...


However...even if the fan relay needs to be replaced...
...it would still sound like lower thermostat 160 is needed...
Add water wetter to increasing cooling ability...
Adj computer for fans to come on much sooner...

fan relays are under the hood, in the fuse box. pull the fuse box cover and look at the label on the underside of the cover.

fuse 46 pass side fan (30amp maxi-large fuse)
fuse 49 drvrs side fan (30amp maxi-large fuse)
3 mini relays:
43
44
45

EDIT: oh yeah there is also a little 10amp cooling fan fuse #14
