The fan control module (FCM) as its is known industrially is can function as a relay or switch regulating the cooling fan operation. In some vehicles the FCM is relay between the engine control module (ECM) which turns on the fans as needed for cooling and when the air conditioning running. In other applications the FCM directly controls the cooling fans of the radiator based on temperature sensor readings. An FCM is critical component to keeping a vehicle from dangerous overheating breakdowns.
These fuses and control unit control that big fan motor on your radiator.

If you are talking about radiator fan relay, then it is in weird location which is under the fan unit.
fan control relay
The PCM (powertrain control unit/computer) sends power to the fan relay based on the output of the coolant temperature sensor reading. The relay then sends power to the fan; thus turning the fan on.
P1491 Radiator Fan Control Relay Circuit An open or shorted condition detected in the radiator fan control relay control circuit. This includes PWM solid state relays.
a bad fan control relay
If you mean the radiator fan make sure the airconditioning is off. If the fan keeps running it could be a bad fanswitch (located on radiator tank. Or a failed control relay (if fitted) If still no luck check for a failed AC fan control relay.
Check radiator fan control relay.

The engine computer uses the signal from the coolant temperature sensor to decide when to activate the radiator fan relay.
