Fiat Idea overheating

My 2005 Fiat Idea, gasoline engine, is overheating like crazy. Mileage is at 117222 km. The electric fan feels like it's barely spinning, or not at all at times. I've looked at the wiring and it looks like the fan's cable or plug connection might be defective, but I can't be sure. Anyone seen this before?

A 2005 Fiat Idea with a gasoline engine is experiencing severe overheating, with the electric fan barely spinning or not functioning at all. The problem may be due to a defective cable or plug connection to the fan. A suggestion to check the fan relay was made, but the issue was ultimately resolved by addressing the faulty connection, costing 95€.

I had a similar overheating issue with my old Renault Megane. Same symptoms, electric fan was the culprit. Did you check the fan relay?

Relay, huh? I hadn't thought of that. Where exactly is that located, and how would I test it? Is it possible to replace it by myself or should I go to the workshop?

Mine was located near the fuse box in the engine compartment. Unfortunately, it was beyond my skills, so I brought my Megane to the workshop.

A defective cable or plug connection of the component was indeed the issue. Cost me 95€ to get it sorted. Thanks for the pointer anyway!
