With the key in the ON position there should be 2 relays engaged. The traction and engine control relays (fuel relay will energized for two seconds).
With a bad engine control relay the car will not start and the radiator fan will spin up REALLY fast after a few seconds.
With a bad traction control relay the car will start but you will have a variety of symptoms. Wing stays up, BAS/ESP fault lights, speedometer inop and possibly others.
I repair RCMs. If you need help email tighed1@hotmail.com for details.
