DTC 18080 and fan craziness

Hi all, noticed today my after-run fan is running after every drive, no matter how brief. Scanned and getting the above fault code. Where abouts in the bay is the part/control switch that needs changing?

Thanks

Well several nights of research down. It appears this fault code is near useless as it says it's a fault with the control module, when in reality it points the finger at that circuit as a whole!

So next stop, check ECU box for water and condition of relays as the fan has stopped running on, but DTC still there and fan is ok

I hate electrical gremlins!!
