Description of the problem	My engine light come on about two weeks ago. Hooked it up to a car reader and the code is a 1491. Which means radiator fan control relay circuit. I called the dodge dealer here in enumclaw washington and they told me $500 to fix. So i called my mechanic at cascade automotive in enumclaw and he explained to me the situation. If i replace only the relay if may be enough but the $500 cost the dealer is charging is because of the wiring harness burning up and cause a fatal situation. My mechanic has seen a number of these through his shop. This needs to be addressed by dodge corp. And paid for by them. *jb
