What a helpful video. Your explanations made a complex system of interconnected parts seem simple, even for an amateur like me. Your logic to eliminate the sensor and computer was both particularly brilliant and made the whole system finally make sense. My car's accessory fan undergoing a similar malfunction suddenly seems solvable. It's not quite as simple to access as the main cooling fan, but I'm feeling ambitious now. Thank you.
My Appraciation: You nailed it bro. Other UA-camrs go for a Quick Click Bait solutions thinking the issue is a cooling switch. You had helped me diagnosed the real issue and learn more about the cooling system electrical network. A multimeter is also helpful to diagnose this issue. Most people think a Radiator Fan Module function is to only control the Speed of the Fan Motor not realizing that the Module is an On/Off Switch that can stuck on an On or Close function like a relay. My Opinion: Some electrical fan are actual controlled by a relay and ECU, while modern generational cars uses a cooling sensor, ECU, Thermostat with a electrical sensor and Fan Module to perform the work. Best cars are the ones which Utilizes the Manual Fan mounted on the engine. This electrical fans are unrealiable and none durable at best. Are caused of majority of engines overheating due to their malfucntioning tendency and overcomplex ssystem that makes no sense. Straight engines should not use electrical fans and cooling sensors. An engine only need a radiator, fan and thermostat. Modern day enginners don't create solutions but problems in their quest to innovate the old trial and tested inventions. The automotive car industry went from cast iron material to aluminium and now they settled to cheap plastic foil cars. It is crazy what shareholders can do. Good luck car owners who are forced to became part-time mechanic because to garbage quality...Nxm
Very detailed explanation. I am a new driver, just bought a used car and this happened after a week of buying it. I’ll try it tomorrow, although I dont have another cooling fan to test it with... I’ll try disconnecting the wires and see... right now, I have just disconnected the negative battery terminal to stop the fan. Thank you for this video. 😊 By the way, my car is an old Honda Fit 2003 model.
This was a great informational video! It really helped me diagnose what my problem was while understanding what was causing it. I got a new one to replace it and it fixed my problem. This helped save me so much money on a mechanic
Super helpful, I have the same problem at the moment and connect the fan before every (long) drive and disconnect when parking. Now I know how to fix it. Wikk try to find a replacement fan tomorrow!
Hi, I like your video a lot. It not only shows the diagnosis but also the mechanical work involved. Did you later repair the control unit with the dead short in it? Does the fan have brushes or is it brushless?
I have the same problem with my 2009 mazda wagon with the fan turning on when i turn on the ignition, i was gonna put it in the garage but your really easy and simple instructions ive decided that by following your video im gonna tackle it myself Ill let you know how i get on thanks

Hi, Recently my Mazda 3 2011 had a similar problem with the fan staying on for about 2~5 min after engine off. Sometimes only a short distance within 10KM was driven, and the fan was still on after the engine was turned off. so don't think that overheating of the engine requires a fan to cool down. In your experience, think it is a fan control module problem, thermostat problem or coolant temperature sensor problem? My car fan control module it look similar like volvo, it made by Bosch as well.
Hey man i have a 2004 vw golf 2.0 and the fans constantly run and will never turn off until i disconnect the battery. Whenever the battery is connected to the car the fans come on. I checked the relay and sensor and they wernet the issue. Do u think i need the control module replaced?
Hi! I have a 2011 Ford Taurus SEL and i’ve been having the same issue where my fan stays on until battery dies, I replaced the Temp Sensor and also the Thermostat. It seemed fine, the fan would turn off and wouldn’t be Stuck On but last night it wouldn’t turn off! Though I only waited about 5-7minutes but PTSD made me disconnect the battery so I wouldn’t need a jump lol My point is that it’s still turning on and off which might mean it’s not the module being shorted, two parts were replaced but last night 5-7min stuck on even after engine was off was frightening, do you think it could be anything else? or perhaps it was just a false scare
Hey boss, I have a 2012 Ford Focus SE that had a problem with the fan staying on for about 10 minutes after shutting the car off. It would kick on when I opened my front doors and kick back off if I didn’t start it. The other day my fan stopped working at all, so do you think the fan motor could’ve just burned out from running so much? I’m getting ready to trade in the car soon anyways, so I just need the fan to at least work and keep the car cool. I should be able to just buy the fan and replace that part hopefully right?
John Lee yes you probably have a burned fan but you should check the wiring first before you replace it, since you're gonna get rid of the car soon, you just get a used fan
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair alright thank you! What I’m gonna try to do is get some small jumpers to jump power from the battery to the fan terminal to see of it is dead and then try that on the one I’ll replace it with to make sure it’ll work for the time I need it to and replace it.
My signal wire came out of the connector (with the clip still attached). Do you think I can just stick it back in or would I have to cut it off and get a new connector with a bit of cable from the junkyard?
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I feared. The cable in question is the one coming from the ECU, not the fan module's wire. Probably going to end up taking it to an electrician as I'm no good with electrical wiring.
Great video! I'll be replacing the fan assembly tomorrow. Did you happen to notice what temperature turns on the fan and what temp turns it off? Thanks.
My fan comes on and goes off continuously. As soon as I pull in my driveway and put it in park, it is running and will stop for a couple of seconds and start running again. I believe it’s a loose connection or bad wire. Thoughts?
Amazing...I understood Completely. I recently have the same issue with my car and because of this my car's battery is Completely dead. Now I want to know what is the next step? Is this comes under warranty if not than what is the price of new fan module?
@K Diagnostics sorry. When you disconnected the coolant temp sensors, was the car running or turned off? Also, for the fan control module, running or off. Thanks
What should possibly be the problem in this matter. I was driving my Mk5 and the temperature warning show up on the dashboard , with STOP! CHECK THE COOLANT. I comfirm the water was little and added. But from there just when the engine is turned on, the temperature rise to 90.c and the fan couldn't go off while the engine is running however no warning light is showing on the dash board
Great channel! My issue is different. I have 06 crown victoria and my cooling fans constantly run when AC is on. That's only time they run. Even on Cold starts in morning. I don't have a CEL or anything. I don't feel like that's normal and what could be issue?
Hey man, I just bought a brand new cooling fan to replace the broken one but I’m worried what I just bought is not working. After installing the new fan, how do you know if the newly installed one is working? I try to idle or drive the engine so the temp guage would go past halfway the mark but it never goes past the half mark of the guage and I never hear the fan turn on. How do you test the fan? I’m asking because I only have 30 days to return it if it’s defective. Thanks
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I see. But would it need a signal from the sensor first to turn on the fan? How would you fake bypass that and just connect power to turn on fan just to see if it works?
@@kirklopez2031 yes, that's the quickest way to check a fan, if it runs after sending power and ground to it, then your problem is most likely the wiring or the inputs to the ECM or the ECM itself!!
I have a 2010 for fusion when i turn my car off ! The fan runs for over 10 minutes then it stop but when i turn the car back on it kills the battery tell the point were i have to get a jump ! Is this the same issue?
@@budandkickstv yes, follow the steps in the video to figure out what's wrong with your car, most radiator fans are wired the same way, you either have a control module on the fan or a Relay... but start by testing your coolant temperature sensor first. Good Luck!!!
Good afternoon, very good video, my car is a 2001 Volov V70, the fan turns on when the ignition is on or when I start the car, even when the car is cold, when I turn off the car the fan turns off. Before watching your video I bought a second fan complete with its module and the same failure continued. If I do like your video and unplug the purple cable, the fan turns off, but if I plug it back in it turns the fan on at a low speed. In this case what is the fault? Thank you. greetings from Mexico
Good evening, can you tell me where I find this electrical scheme, and what signal comes out of the control module to drive the electro fan? I'm in the same trouble..
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Opá, Good night, I followed the steps of the video and identified that mine is no longer with the module, I conclude that this is the problem.
Mine does the same thing but the fan assembly does not have a module on it. It is a 2008 Lincoln MKZ . Wonder where the module is located or if it could be another problem. Thanks.
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair First thing I did and it of course shut the fans off. I took it to Ford dealership and they put it on the computer. Nothing showed up. They consulted the manual and said it was the cooling fan module. It will cost $1,200.oo plus tax to get it fixed.The cooling fans are $624.00 and labor $600.00. The fans on my car does not have that module on it. Strange to me. I feel it is the fan thermostat control but I am not a technician. So I had to make the appointment.
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Update of 2008 Lincoln MKZ fan module: I did purchase the FOMOCO cooling fan module(two fan unit) from the dealer n Huntington WV who had to call to PA. to find one. Said it was an almost obsolete part(hard to believe). Anyway it cost not the $624.00 previously quoted but $724.00. Guess the Yes Ford dealership had to make money making that phone call for me to order it. I received it this past Friday and I installed it on Saturday. Saved myself $600.00 installation fee. It took me one hour to install it. I guess the dealerships have to feed a lot of people to charge what they do so $600.00 per hour is not bad if you can get it. The fans I saw on line like the one I purchased from the dealer were around $250.00 but did not come with a 2 year warranty. Guess that is why the dealerships can charge around $500.00 more per item than what can be bought on line. Dealerships are a huge money making machine. I am glad I got it fixed for less then the dealership told me it would cost. Thanks for all the information .
Good afternoon, I watched your video, my Volvo V70XC 2001 turbo, my fan has a fault. When the car is cold, I turn the ignition ON or start the car, the fan turns on at a low speed. When I turn off the car the fan turns off. But when you turn it on or turn it on, whether hot or cold, the fan turns on and stays that way until you turn off the car. Before watching your video, I bought another fan complete with its module and the same failure. I did the test in your video and disconnected the harness with the cable alone, the color violet and the fan turns off, the two fans that I now have complete with its module turn off. Disconnect the temperature sensor harness and it indicates -40 degrees Celsius, but the fan stays on, does not turn off, What could be the fault? What do I need to validate to be able to solve it. Kind regards ALEX
Hey guys I have this same issue, but what seems to work is I will just keep the car running so the battery won’t die, and the fan will usually turn off after 20 or 30 minutes. Does this mean there’s a problem with the relay or the fan itself?
toyota corola,, the fan for the radiator and the A/C fan run when the car is turned off... not when the engine is running ,, im thinking the relay is at fault .. what are your thoughts ??
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair AE92R toyota corolla .. 10/91 build .. i checked the fan relays ,, plugs on the thermostat housing ..no change... hit the engine relay a couple of times .. and the fans turned off.. point to note ....30 year old corolla .. none of these relays have been changed since my now 81 yo mother brought this car ...NEW... pitty i cant send photos of the relay that caused the issue .. it was not the relay i suspected of having the problem... watching your vid from Australia ... thanks for replying ..
Hi please advice I've got 2012 peugeot 3008 1.6 A/T vti petrol my fan allowys on while driving sense starting the engine and when I switched the engine off the fan stay for 5 on then it's off and the battery many times died please help and the car taking so much petrol, thank you
My 2020 Chevy Trak is having the same issue...I have to have it towed to the shop. I just want to be educated before having my vehicle tow to the shop..I also just had a new battery installed a week ago.
Some confusion ( but I will watch again), #1 is the fan controller just a relay ? #2 how does the violet wire control the fan, what does it do other than just brining a signal from the computer ? Is it really a controller? Is there a resistance in the wire or connector that makes it a 'controller wire' ? #3 doesn't the computer need to first receive a signal from a sensor ( like the coolant temp sensor?) before it sends a signal, to the fan controller, right ? This is all new to me but I am having issues with Ram PM Van 3.6L gas and can not afford how have someone fix it. I am seeing people say $1,500 and a lot more for maybe a bad wire, relay, module or the like, that I could possibly fix myself for a few hundred or less. Thanks !!
If i can learn enough that I could help others fix their vehicles also that can not afford to take some place, that would be a huge plus for me ( not for my ego, but doing something we all should be doing, helping others). My added 2 cents.
Wondering Why on this model, the fan module is part of the fan assembly, the ECM receives the input from the ECT then sends a command to the fan module to turn on the fan! but some fans are just controlled by relays! you need to find out how your fan is controlled!!
Hello on my 2015´s Golf GTD 135kW, fan can´t stop running, only after inserting key and switching into first position, diagnostic show only theese DTC´s : -U112300 -0100300 -U042800 -P068B00
very informative. for me, my module did not work at all. so i disconnected the ECT. The fan came on. i was told this is a fail safe. when i plugged the ect back in, the fan kept running. i will get a new fan/controller at scrap yard. it will tell me if i fried the computer too
Can you go back please, disconnect a coolant temperature sensor and test a signal to the fan control module, I want to understand whether the signal wire is giving the module a ground or a supply, I have got a same problem and when my signal wire is disconnected I get 12v on the side of the module.
hi i have volvo s 60 2002 model there radiator fan is broken i have purchase new one for that but there have 4 wire line old one have only 3 wire line how to fix it new one is 2005 model
Thank u for the video but I have my car it has the same problem can u tell me where’s your garage at so I can bring my car to u so u can fix it thank u very much
My 2010 Toyota corolla professional if i turn on the Key and turn it off the fan goes on and if i turn it on then the fan goes off even if the car was parked the whole night. So if I take off one battery terminal and connect it back again then the fan goes off. If I start the car the fan will be of until +-15min then the fan kicks on. I have changed a temperature switch, Fan Relay and Fan switch module but problem not solved.
lufuno brendon munzhelele Since you replaced all those components, it sounds like you problem might be in the wiring or the ECM itself! you should have it diagnosed!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair The wires going to the motor a crimped on to some metal tabs and don't look like they come off. The tabs go under the top cover, I don't want to destroy the motor. And what looked like a bolt holding the top don't think its a bolt.

Great video! I'll be replacing the fan assembly tomorrow. Did you happen to notice what temperature turns on the fan and what temp turns it off? Thanks.
Da Jo Thank you!! the fan comes on when the thermostat opens around 195 and 210 degrees... after the temperature drops the fan goes off
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair That's for the info. Looks like I'll be replacing the fan assembly today, with your video playing beside me...
@@dajo4349 sounds good. Good Luck!!
My fan comes on and goes off continuously. As soon as I pull in my driveway and put it in park, it is running and will stop for a couple of seconds and start running again. I believe it’s a loose connection or bad wire. Thoughts?
Dave Chambers check your engine temperature sensor!
Thanks you. Perfect video. I have the same issue my friend told me it might be the relay. How do you check if it's the relay first
Kongol I recommend you watch the video on relay testing it's here on the channel!!
Amazing...I understood Completely. I recently have the same issue with my car and because of this my car's battery is Completely dead. Now I want to know what is the next step? Is this comes under warranty if not than what is the price of new fan module?
@shailendrasharma4838 what year is your car? you might want to call your local Dealership to see if they can warranty it!
Could a Bad Temp sensor exist, even if get temp on Dash? 2014 Jeep TRailhawk 3.2
tigersaver yes, some engines have 2 temp ensors, one for the gauge on dash! and the other for the ECM!
Was the car turned off during this video? Did you get it to running temp, then do these tests? Or was the car running? Thanks
Tats Nstuff I got it to operating temperature before doing the tests
@K Diagnostics sorry. When you disconnected the coolant temp sensors, was the car running or turned off? Also, for the fan control module, running or off. Thanks
Very good video
Ricardo Acosta Thank you!!!
Awesome , greetings
Mohammad Al-Gebaly I appreciate you my friend!
What should possibly be the problem in this matter.
I was driving my Mk5 and the temperature warning show up on the dashboard , with STOP! CHECK THE COOLANT.
I comfirm the water was little and added.
But from there just when the engine is turned on, the temperature rise to 90.c and the fan couldn't go off while the engine is running however no warning light is showing on the dash board
kapolo Paulus Ndelimona Check your thermostat and temp sensor first and see what happens!
Great channel! My issue is different. I have 06 crown victoria and my cooling fans constantly run when AC is on. That's only time they run. Even on Cold starts in morning. I don't have a CEL or anything. I don't feel like that's normal and what could be issue?
@NightRider-16 Thank you, is the car overheating?
Hi my dear. I have same issue on my car 2022 camry miles is 4800 I replace new fan aftermarket still Sam problem. Can you help me please. Thanks
Ara Damirjian check your fan relay or module, I have videos on this channel that can show you how to test them!
Hey man, I just bought a brand new cooling fan to replace the broken one but I’m worried what I just bought is not working. After installing the new fan, how do you know if the newly installed one is working? I try to idle or drive the engine so the temp guage would go past halfway the mark but it never goes past the half mark of the guage and I never hear the fan turn on. How do you test the fan? I’m asking because I only have 30 days to return it if it’s defective. Thanks
Kirk Lopez you can send power and ground on the big wires on the fan to see if the fan will come on!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I see. But would it need a signal from the sensor first to turn on the fan? How would you fake bypass that and just connect power to turn on fan just to see if it works?
@@kirklopez2031 yes, that's the quickest way to check a fan, if it runs after sending power and ground to it, then your problem is most likely the wiring or the inputs to the ECM or the ECM itself!!
Hello ! What if youu have a fan on your car or it’s old but my car don’t turn on twice now …. ????
Now i no whats wrong now i need that part thanks for the information
budandkickstv My Pleasure!!!
Let me ask you a quick question
I have a 2010 for fusion when i turn my car off ! The fan runs for over 10 minutes then it stop but when i turn the car back on it kills the battery tell the point were i have to get a jump ! Is this the same issue?
@@budandkickstv yes, follow the steps in the video to figure out what's wrong with your car, most radiator fans are wired the same way, you either have a control module on the fan or a Relay... but start by testing your coolant temperature sensor first. Good Luck!!!
Thank you

Good afternoon, very good video, my car is a 2001 Volov V70, the fan turns on when the ignition is on or when I start the car, even when the car is cold, when I turn off the car the fan turns off. Before watching your video I bought a second fan complete with its module and the same failure continued.
If I do like your video and unplug the purple cable, the fan turns off, but if I plug it back in it turns the fan on at a low speed.
In this case what is the fault?
Thank you.
greetings from Mexico
@Alex-ku8ft it sounds like your fan module is going bad, I recommend you take your car to a pro mechanic who can diagnose it properly!
Good evening, can you tell me where I find this electrical scheme, and what signal comes out of the control module to drive the electro fan? I'm in the same trouble..
Sidney Souza you get these wiring diagrams from mitchell prodemand!! are you working on the same kind of car!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Good morning, yes Volvo s60 2001.
@@sidnelsom2005 follow the steps in the video to test the fan module!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Opá, Good night, I followed the steps of the video and identified that mine is no longer with the module, I conclude that this is the problem.
@@sidnelsom2005 that's awesome!!
Mine does the same thing but the fan assembly does not have a module on it. It is a 2008 Lincoln MKZ . Wonder where the module is located or if it could be another problem. Thanks.
Chris Baker check in the fuse box under the hood if there is a fan relay in it, and disconnect it to see if the fan will stop,
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair First thing I did and it of course shut the fans off.
I took it to Ford dealership and they put it on the computer. Nothing showed up. They consulted the manual and said it was the cooling fan module. It will cost $1,200.oo plus tax to get it fixed.The cooling fans are $624.00 and labor $600.00. The fans on my car does not have that module on it. Strange to me. I feel it is the fan thermostat control but I am not a technician. So I had to make the appointment.
@@chrisbaker528 sounds good Good Luck!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Update of 2008 Lincoln MKZ fan module: I did purchase the FOMOCO cooling fan module(two fan unit) from the dealer n Huntington WV who had to call to PA. to find one. Said it was an almost obsolete part(hard to believe). Anyway it cost not the $624.00 previously quoted but $724.00. Guess the Yes Ford dealership had to make money making that phone call for me to order it. I received it this past Friday and I installed it on Saturday. Saved myself $600.00 installation fee. It took me one hour to install it. I guess the dealerships have to feed a lot of people to charge what they do so $600.00 per hour is not bad if you can get it.
The fans I saw on line like the one I purchased from the dealer were around $250.00 but did not come with a 2 year warranty. Guess that is why the dealerships can charge around $500.00 more per item than what can be bought on line. Dealerships are a huge money making machine.
I am glad I got it fixed for less then the dealership told me it would cost.
Thanks for all the information .
@@chrisbaker528 My Pleasure!!! I'm glad to hear that you were able to save money by doing it yoursef, That's awesome!!!
Good afternoon, I watched your video, my Volvo V70XC 2001 turbo, my fan has a fault.
When the car is cold, I turn the ignition ON or start the car, the fan turns on at a low speed. When I turn off the car the fan turns off. But when you turn it on or turn it on, whether hot or cold, the fan turns on and stays that way until you turn off the car.
Before watching your video, I bought another fan complete with its module and the same failure.
I did the test in your video and disconnected the harness with the cable alone, the color violet and the fan turns off, the two fans that I now have complete with its module turn off.
Disconnect the temperature sensor harness and it indicates -40 degrees Celsius, but the fan stays on, does not turn off,
What could be the fault?
What do I need to validate to be able to solve it.
Kind regards
ALEX
@Alex-ku8ft your problem could be in the fan wiring, I recommend you take it to a pro mechanic who can diagnose it for you!
thank you for doing this video. Very informative
accesscard My Pleasure!! Thank you!!
Hey guys I have this same issue, but what seems to work is I will just keep the car running so the battery won’t die, and the fan will usually turn off after 20 or 30 minutes. Does this mean there’s a problem with the relay or the fan itself?
Huffle Puff yes or your temp sensor is going bad!
toyota corola,, the fan for the radiator and the A/C fan run when the car is turned off... not when the engine is running ,, im thinking the relay is at fault ..
what are your thoughts ??
peter brittain does it have a module on it? if not check it's relay!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair AE92R toyota corolla .. 10/91 build .. i checked the fan relays ,, plugs on the thermostat housing ..no change...
hit the engine relay a couple of times .. and the fans turned off..
point to note ....30 year old corolla .. none of these relays have been changed since my now 81 yo mother brought this car ...NEW...
pitty i cant send photos of the relay that caused the issue .. it was not the relay i suspected of having the problem...
watching your vid from Australia ...

Question - is it normal for it to take 15min to stop after shutting down the engine / keys off?
@raynsirhanchannel1536 No! 15 minutes is a lot!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair so how long it should be stop when the key is off?

Writer912 AH ok
Very helpful and well explained video thank you.
Carlos Villacorta Thank you!!
Some confusion ( but I will watch again), #1 is the fan controller just a relay ? #2 how does the violet wire control the fan, what does it do other than just brining a signal from the computer ? Is it really a controller? Is there a resistance in the wire or connector that makes it a 'controller wire' ? #3 doesn't the computer need to first receive a signal from a sensor ( like the coolant temp sensor?) before it sends a signal, to the fan controller, right ? This is all new to me but I am having issues with Ram PM Van 3.6L gas and can not afford how have someone fix it. I am seeing people say $1,500 and a lot more for maybe a bad wire, relay, module or the like, that I could possibly fix myself for a few hundred or less. Thanks !!
If i can learn enough that I could help others fix their vehicles also that can not afford to take some place, that would be a huge plus for me ( not for my ego, but doing something we all should be doing, helping others). My added 2 cents.
Wondering Why on this model, the fan module is part of the fan assembly, the ECM receives the input from the ECT then sends a command to the fan module to turn on the fan! but some fans are just controlled by relays! you need to find out how your fan is controlled!!
Do you have to disconnect the battery, b4 you disconnect the control fan module.
@djhopson7134 no you don't have to!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thanks so much for responding I appreciate it

Hello on my 2015´s Golf GTD 135kW, fan can´t stop running, only after inserting key and switching into first position, diagnostic show only theese DTC´s :
-U112300
-0100300
-U042800
-P068B00
@samuelstasak you should get these codes diagnosed!
very informative. for me, my module did not work at all. so i disconnected the ECT. The fan came on. i was told this is a fail safe. when i plugged the ect back in, the fan kept running. i will get a new fan/controller at scrap yard. it will tell me if i fried the computer too
richardgengle sounds good, Good Luck!!
Nice explanation and demo.
Ricardo Passarelli Thank you!
Can you go back please, disconnect a coolant temperature sensor and test a signal to the fan control module, I want to understand whether the signal wire is giving the module a ground or a supply, I have got a same problem and when my signal wire is disconnected I get 12v on the side of the module.
Thabang Mokhele disconnect the module and see what kind of signal you have there!
hi i have volvo s 60 2002 model there radiator fan is broken i have purchase new one for that but there have 4 wire line old one have only 3 wire line how to fix it new one is 2005 model
@thishanpeiris6674 you probably got the wrong fan!
Thank u for the video but I have my car it has the same problem can u tell me where’s your garage at so I can bring my car to u so u can fix it thank u very much
Adel Alenezy Our shop is in Dickerson MD, you can email me at Deo@calleva.org so I can give you my contact information so you can bring the car...
My 2010 Toyota corolla professional if i turn on the Key and turn it off the fan goes on and if i turn it on then the fan goes off even if the car was parked the whole night. So if I take off one battery terminal and connect it back again then the fan goes
off. If I start the car the fan will be of until +-15min then the fan kicks on. I have changed a temperature switch, Fan Relay and Fan switch module but problem not solved.
lufuno brendon munzhelele Since you replaced all those components, it sounds like you problem might be in the wiring or the ECM itself! you should have it diagnosed!
Can you just replace that controller? I tried to remove the wires from the fan motor and it didn't seem like a simple disconnect.
Murray Madness you should be able to disconnect the electrical connector!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair The wires going to the motor a crimped on to some metal tabs and don't look like they come off. The tabs go under the top cover, I don't want to destroy the motor. And what looked like a bolt holding the top don't think its a bolt.
@@murraymadness4674 OK! That's weird!
What if you just put the new module to the old fan without putting the whole set
@The_deadsmile255 you would not recommend that!
Good morning brother I have a Mazda 3 and the fan is spinning all the time I change temp sensor
@AddideDanmuzik7302 Check the sensor wiring!
I have the same issue but the fan comes on as normal but then dont go off once I stand still, takes about +-35 minutes before shutting off
