Check fuses first. Then relays. Then try appling power to the fan directly to see if there are wiring problems. If the fan runs and the fuses and relays are fine look to the switch.
Good Luck!!!!!
In the engine compartment fuse junction box its the fourth relay,you cant miss it, The fan fuse is the big 30 amp fuse.The cooling fan should come on when the air conditioning switch is activated,Your problem you are dealing with is common on Saturn the cooling fan never comes on.And you have to use the air condition system just to turn the fan on.Heres a way to trouble shoot the fan if you cant find the relay for the fan or you found the relay theres is two big relays one is the cooling fan.The other is the air pump ,take the cover off the relay and expose the mechanism,get a non conductive tool a toothpick will work fine collapse the relay so it make contact with the key on engine off make the relay make contact the fan should come on ,if it doesnt and you see spark(little spark)as you close the relay this tell you the power works replace the fan..if the fan comes on swap the relay.
WHAT IT MEANS YOUR FAN CONTROL RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT IS OPEN OR SHORTED TO GROUND. FAN CONTROL RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT IS SHORTED TO SYSTEM POWER. THE FAN CONTROL RELAY POWER CIRCUIT IS OPEN CHECK COOL FAN 1 FUSE. FAN CONTROL RELAY IS DAMAGED OR HAS FAILED. PCM HAS FAILED.I LISTED ALL POSSIBLE CAUSES TO CODE PO480.
The cooling fan relay should be in the under hood fuse block.Remove the cover and on the back of the cover there should be a label that shows the fuses and relays and what system they protect.Just remove the one that is for the cooing fan and install the new one.Hope this helps.Good luck.
the fan motor could just be bad, you can test this by removing the fan and connecting a wire to each terminal and to a battery. the wires hooked up one way will spin the fan and the other way will spin the fan backwards so you cant hook it up wrong. I hope that helps you out!
