Next time, don't forget to turn up the cabin heat to max and the blower to max. Lower the driver's window and the rear passenger window to let the heat out.

It is easy to verify which relay belongs to the engine fan, it's wires go to the fan motor. Check the wiring diagram, the 3rd one down:

Then look for broken wires or just a bad relay. Note, these relays don't fail often and a junk yard relay will work. There is a fuseable link on the red wire.
