TSB#05-06-02-012B: Service Engine Soon (SES) or Check Engine Light On, DTC P0480, P0526/P1481/P1484 Set (Replace Engine Cooling Fan Wiring Harness) - (Oct 19, 2006)
Subject:
Service Engine Soon (SES) or Check Engine Light On, DTC P0480/P0526/P1481/P1484 Set (Replace Engine Cooling Fan Wiring Harness)
Condition
Some customers may comment that the Service Engine Soon (SES) or Check Engine light is illuminated. This condition may be intermittent and upon investigation, the technician may find either DTC P0480, P0526, P1481 or P1484 set.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the cooling fan harness chaffing against the plastic guide it routes through. This contact may damage the insulation of the wires enclosed in that harness.

Correction
Replace the engine cooling fan harness using the procedure listed below.

1. Remove the cooling fan. Refer to the Cooling Fan and Shroud Replacement procedure in the Engine Cooling sub-section of SI.

2. Place the cooling fan assembly on a bench.
Disconnect the harness electrical connector from the cooling fan clutch.

3. Remove the harness from the plastic guide while feeding the wires out of the slot.

4. Before installing the new harness, wrap the affected area on the wires with electrical tape to keep the protective sleeve in place. Be sure to keep the tape approximately 25 mm (1 in) away from the connector so the wires can be fed into the slot.

5. Feed the wires into the slot and install the harness to the plastic guide.

6. Connect the harness electrical connector to the cooling fan clutch.

7. Install the cooling fan. Refer to the Cooling Fan and Shroud Replacement procedure in the Engine Cooling sub-section of SI.

SOURCE: how do you remove the fan from 1998 f150 4.2 liter

how do you remove the fan and fan clutch from 1998 f150 4.2 liter engine. i am trying to replace the water pump but i cannot get the fan to break loose . i cannot figure how to stop pump from turning while trying to loosen the bolt or nut that holds the fan clutch on the water pump shaft . is there a special tool to help me with this

SOURCE: My trailblazer keeps overheating and I'm not sure

There may be an obstruction in one of the hoses, there may be an air pocket in the system somewhere.
Are you sure there is actually an overheating going on? Maybe it's a bad temperature sensor or temperature gauge stepper motor.

Sounds like you may have disconnected the battery. Does the rough idle only happen when the defroster or A/C is on? If so clean your throttle body with throttle body cleaner with the battery disconnected. When finished, drive it for 5 or so miles with the defroster / AC off to let the computer relearn the settings. This will solve your problem.
