Angry 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8 (Radiator Fan Relay Question)

I am looking for anyone that can specifically tell me where I can find the high speed radiator fan relay. All the posts are telling me different spots. I have a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan and this morning I hit a pheasant on the way to work. The radiator fan won't turn off now. I am hoping it is something simple. I hit the pheasant on the driver's side of the van and wondering what the hell I did to cause the relay switch to go? I can't seem to find it. A pic shows it to also have a heat sink and that is what I am looking for. Any help with where exactly I can find this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Troy

Where ever it is it has 4 wires in the connector:

Brown with Lt blue tracer (stripe)
Brown / orange "
Red / brown "
Dk Blue / violet "

Only the last one goes to the fans. The other three connect to the TIPM.

Need help on 2008 T&C touring with the 3.8. Had a radiator leaking so I replaced it with a new one from the dealer. After I install it I took it for a test drive and noticed that it was running hotter than I remember. When I got home ,with the engine still running, I open the hood and noticed that the cooling fan was not on. I found both relays and checked them ,out of the car, with battery voltage and the relays clicked and contacts closed. I also applied batt. voltage to the output contacts of both relays and the fan operates as it should, low and high speed. Also the low speed did click on, after a few cycles, of the A/C being turned on. I'm thinking that something is wrong and that may be why I had replace the rad. But don't know where to go from here. Thanks in advanced.
