Hi.
Here a tip illustrating steps to test and replace the radiator cooling fan and the parts that may cause cooling fan malfunctioning.
Before
replacing the fan, make sure that the fan is really faulty.
Read volts at fan
contacts or jump the fan wiring to energize the fan directly.Ensure that fan blades are not blocked.
If
the fan is OK, then the faulty part is either thermostat or fan relay.Ensure also that
you have tested the 15A fuse in the junction block and the 40A fuse located in
the Power distribution Center (PDC).
Here a diagram showing the location of the fan relay:
Finally, here below the steps required to replace the fan. The procedure is quite simple.
- Disconnect the battery negative cable and set it apart.
- Disconnect the electrical connector to the radiator fan.
- Undo the bolts that hold the top fan housing and fan assembly (this is called Radiator Shroud).
- Remove the Radiator Shroud housing.The radiator shroud will come out with the fan sliding toward the top side.
- Install the new fan performing the operations in reverse order.
Here a diagram showing radiator shroud and cooling fan assembly:
