Another P0480 question

The search function didn't do me much good for this one.

Got the code and found the fan not working. What is the fan controller location on the 2014 Super Duty? I'd like to see if it's the clutch, or the controller that's failed.

The fan is in the center of the dash, it requires removing the dash to replace it. Not sure where the fan controller is located, but it seems the dash has to come out to do just about anything on a climate controlled heat and A/C system.

I'd check the ECT sensor first. https://repairpal.com/obd-ii-code-p0480

Guess I didn't specify.. This code is for the cooling fan control circuit. I did check the turning resistance of the fan and it doesn't have near the resistance as others that I tried. I'm figuring the clutch is toast.
