Standard Ignition Engine Cooling Fan Module,Engine Cooling Fan Motor Relay P/N:RY-1680

Keep power flowing to the engine cooling fan motor with the Standard Ignition RY-1680 relay, a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Golf and the 1999-2004 Volkswagen Jetta. Standard Ignition lists this part as both an Engine Cooling Fan Module and an Engine Cooling Fan Motor Relay, so you may find it under either name.

A relay lets a low-current control signal switch the higher-current circuit that runs the fan motor. It is the link between the vehicle's cooling fan control and the fan itself.

  • Part type: Engine cooling fan module / engine cooling fan motor relay
  • Part number: RY-1680 (also written RY1680)
  • Engines: Listed for L4-1.8L, L4-1.9L, L4-2.0L and V6-2.8L versions of the listed applications
  • Quantity: The listed applications use one relay

Signs this relay may need replacing: a cooling fan that won't switch on, a fan that runs constantly, or engine temperature creeping up at idle or in slow traffic. A fuse, a sensor, the wiring or the fan motor itself can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a failed relay is the cause, the RY-1680 replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of years and engines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this VW Jetta cooling fan relay fit my car?

It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2004 Volkswagen Jetta and the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Golf. The Buyer's Guide tab shows the year and engine details.

What does the RY-1680 relay do?

It switches power to the engine cooling fan motor. A low-current control signal energizes the relay, which then closes the higher-current circuit that runs the fan.

Why is it called both a cooling fan module and a fan motor relay?

Standard Ignition lists part number RY-1680 under both names, Engine Cooling Fan Module and Engine Cooling Fan Motor Relay. It is the same part under either name.

What are signs the cooling fan relay may be failing?

Signs include a fan that won't switch on, a fan that runs constantly, or rising engine temperature at idle or in traffic. A fuse, sensor, wiring or the fan motor can cause these too, so diagnose first.

How many relays do I need?

The listed applications use one relay, and this listing is for one RY-1680. See the vehicle service information for the relay location and the removal steps.
