2001 Chrysler Voyager LX

my battery was dead this AM - i charged it and i was able to start the van.
All my dash indicators were not working - gas read empty, speedometer
didn't work, tac, wipers, directionals, etc. did not work. My power doors
did not work, but my side power window did. i drove the vehicle for 45
minutes, thinking it would charge the system enough to get power - i then
disconnected the battery - hoping the computer would re-set - i opened the
fuse box and removed the 15 amp fuse - tested it and it was good. i
returned the fuse back to the box and i had all my lights, blinkers, dash
readouts and everything. I took the vehicle to get an oil change - my fan
would not shut off - i finally figured i didn't leave on the lights that
drained the battery - it was the constant running of the fan. What could
be the problem?

 

fan control relay is shorted out and its behind the grill leftof center and it
has a rivet that holds it in place remove the grill to get to it
