Absolutely. But check connections first. Also, did it come with a new boot. If not replace it. Do your swap test again, and you'll know for sure.

1. Loosen the fan clutch-mounting shaft from the water pump hub.

2. Loosen the fan shroud from its radiator mounting and remove the lower hose from the shroud.

3. Lift the fan and clutch assembly and the fan shroud from the vehicle.

4. If necessary, remove the fan-to-fan clutch retaining bolts and separate the fan from the fan clutch.




CAUTION
Closely examine the fan for cracks or separation, to avoid the possibility of personal injury or vehicle damage.

To install:

1. Assemble the fan and fan clutch. Tighten the retaining bolts to 15-20 ft. lbs. (20-27 Nm).

2. Install the fan and clutch assembly and the fan shroud. Mount the fan clutch shaft to the water pump hub and tighten to 37-46 ft. lbs. (50-62 Nm).

3. Slip the shroud into the lower mounting clips and install the shroud retaining screws.

I just Replaced the dash lights in my 2000 crown vic and there are bulbs in there. I replaced 6 of them and I can see my shift indicator, speedo, and the other gauges at night now. It took me about 2 hours to figure out how to pull the dash apart.

This is common with these cars. There is no fix for the wind noise.

Try Loosening up the latch mechanism with wd40 and then greasing it with a moly type grease

First off make sure that the relay for the fan is operational. Is the engine light on? Get the codes scanned at your local parts store. One alternative that I do not recommend, unless nothing else works, is to mount a switch on the dash and connect it to a power wire and the fan. Then you can manually turn the fan on and off but tends to be a pain in the **** and hurts resale value because nobody else is going to want to deal with that. Try to fix it right before you "rig" something up.

This is looking at the car standing at the front bumper with the hood up. 5678 are on the drivers side and 1234 are on the passenger side. Hope this helps.

I just did this. Go buy a Haynes manual for your car. It has the step by step instructions in chapter 12.

Did you replace the spark plug boots as well? Also always use dielectric grease in the plug boots on each end. Hope this cures it.

There is a little spot on the fuel rail that looks like a valve stem for airing up your tires. Go borrow or buy a fuel pressure gauge and screw it on the fuel rail. If the pressure is not high enough (cant remember the exact psi) the car will spit and sputter but not run. This could be due to a clogged fuel filter or, more painfully expensive, a fuel pump on its way out. The fuel pumps on these are in the tank and you have to drop the tank to change it. If the fuel pressure is Correct, you have me stumped with out more information. Hope this helps.

Have you tried premium fuel? If this cures it then its just "ping" or "spark knock". Have you checked the oil recently? Make sure its full. This could be serious but is hard to diagnose with out hearing it. Hope this at least gets you started.
