radiator fan shroud :(

[MegaSuiter]

So my car has been recently overheating. I made site the oil and coolant were all up to par. The car drove around great aall day. I went into Napa for like ten minutes, came out and my car was overheating again, I have the worst luck with leaving car's running and walking into a business. So I turn it off, pop the hood, and start looking around. I discovery the last Guy that owned this car must have moved the battery to the passenger side because the tray is pushed up against the fan shroud so much that the fan started to hit it and eventually got caught on it. I tested my relays, blown. Tested the wiring where tthe relays fit in and only one prong inlet has any juice. Is my fan fried? Or since the wiring and relays were fried is the fan safe and I just have to rewire a toggle switch with some 10 gauge and a fuse?
Thanks.

The OEM location for the battery is on the passenger side. Maybe the battery is not tied down properly or the tray moved but its not supposed to touch the fan shrowd. Wire the fan straight to the battery and see if its good or not. If it is then look check the relay and fuse.
As far as leaving the car running, you should never do it. I would keep an eye out on the motor/head. When my car ran hot/overhedated for only a few minutes the head and the block warped. Maybe you got lucky.
