Great tutorial. Followed it with the phone in front of me, step by step. About 2.5 hrs taking my time and rewatching steps. Enjoyed not paying the dealer for this one.
Thats great to here that my video helped you save a bunch of money! Thats is the goal with my channel hoping to help people if i can save a bit since everything has gone up so much in price. Thank you for watching and commmenting.
Thank you very much for posting this. I was going crazy trying to get the fan out on my Pathfinder. I had to look it up and ran into your video and I can’t thank you enough.
I am glad my video was helpful. This one can be a little tricky to get out for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please consider subscribing if you havent already done so.
Thank you so much! I've been asked to do this on my girlfriend's car for the last 2 weeks, this was the best tutorial I've seen, I was really hoping to find someone listing the tools required so I was prepared before we started taking things apart. Well done! Much appreciated.
Your Welcome. I am glad you found my video helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting. Let me know how you find the process once you complete the replacement.
Thanks for the great video. Just finished installing myself and it was alot easier with this video.
Thanks for the video. Used the same fan unit. Just replaced and all works well.
Your welcome, I am glad you found my video helpful. I have had this fan in for about a year now and no issues yet. Been working great and we have had many 30+ degrees Celsius days here. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for posting! My next thing to do for my qx60
Your welcome, i hope this guide helps you out.
Thank you for taking time to make this video. My 2016 Nissan pathfinder AC fan is knocking. It difficult to remove and insert and fan unit. But kudo to your clear step by step video.
You are welcome! I am glad to hear that my video provided good clear direction for you to be able to complete you replacement. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Awesome thanks I have to take my pathfinder to the shop I show hate that you did a good job showing how that fan works
I was getting an estimate ready and watched your video to see what needed to be removed. Thank you for the video. I wanted to mention, though, that ProDemand says all that stuff doesn't have to come out if you'd remove the upper rad hose. Just a tip. Appreciate the vid bro
Thanks for watching i hope this help you out. Thanks for the tip. To get the rad out either you remove the rad hose or move it off to the side.
Let me know how it turns out for you.
Thanks for the video it is a great help for diy
You welcome, I am glad you liked it. Hopefully this will save people a good amount of money.
I have a question you should be able to answer. Does your installed fan kicks on and off when needed while the engine is running? I see some products online and read reviews, some people share that with the aftermarket replacement, the fans are always on, and go off only when you turn off the engine. The original one kicks in only when there is no air movement and antifreeze temp is over some limit, like while idling or stopping on an intersection light...
Thanks for the video

Did you have any issues with the TYC product?
Great video. Hopefully I’ll get the guts to try this myself. One question I do have. Rock Auto has the fan with and without the module. Any reason why you didn’t purchase the one without the module and just reused the factory one? Thanks again!
Yes, i did hear aftet the connector are little be different for the fan to the module. This way its all together and i didnt have to repurchased it after.
I hope this helps!
There's a brown wiring harness that goes to a limit switch above the radiator fan I can't figure out where it goes it must came off while replacing does anyone know what it is??
Follow up, both fans were bad in our car. They both wiggle tremendously, surprisingly, the primary fan was worse.
Sounds like it was a good idea to replace the fans. How did you find the process? did you find the replace fairly easy and would you recommend to someone that is thinking about doing vs taking it to a dealer?
@@TDLDIY The instructions were terrific! The only problem I had was I couldn't get to the bottom screw on the new fan module, the replacement unit had skinny little metal Phillips screws. I ended up using some silicone RTV on the bottom and just made sure the top was very tight and added some silicone there too. It's all about being patient and making sure you know where things get hung up on the fan assembly when you're removing or reinstalling. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering it, especially for the cost savings! Start to finish 3 hours included a break at halftime. Important! Make sure to have all the right tools. I went and bought the two tools that I did not have that you recommended, the ratchet wrench and I picked up an inexpensive electric impact wrench, it made The job go much more smoothly
Would removing the rad hose have made the removal a lot easier? It looks like the control module could even remain attached if the hose were removed.
I am sure it would've been easier. I was trying to make it fairly easy for most that might try it without removing unnecessary stuff. Its very much do able this way. Thanks for your comment you idea will give others another option on how to do it.
@@TDLDIY Rad hose removal not needed. I just finished my own fan replacement and I don't think removing the rad hose would make much difference. There is a bunch of other stuff that is obstructing just as badly as that hose.
Can you just replace the module or do you have to change the whole fan??
You can possible change the module but it may have different plug connecting the module to the fan, the module to the vehicle will be factory plugs.
Plus all depends what your issue is. In thw case if my video i was cheaper and easier to replace the whole fan with module then just get a fan and hoping the module will connect to it. which i have hear issues saying the factory module wouldnt connect to the aftermarket fan i purchased.
@@TDLDIY I ended up changing the whole fan because I couldn't find just the module. Thank you for the video. It helped me so much!
@@laurahughes7386 Right on, your very welcome. Thanks for watching my video and i glad it was helpful.
beware
them modules they put on the fans do go out fast i done been through 3 of them now i have to find a way to put the factory module back in the wirers on the fans don't match the oem module
Thanks for the information! I wasnt sure how long it would last. But for the price i was willing to give it a try!
Did this cause your vehicle to overheat?
No, my vehicle didnt over heat but if i had left it possible could've. Now in my case it was the fan that was linked up with the A/C typically when i turned my ac on i would get noise due to a worn out bearing in the fan. Unfortunately i couldnt just replace that one fan but the whole assembly.
what i wanna know is why does the fans kick on when the heater is on and nothing else, its not on auto or defrost ?
I am not sure what you mean? These fans are for the air conditioning condenser coil and coolant radiator. Anything for the air in the vehicle will be an issue from the blower motor which is located under and behind the glove box.
@@TDLDIY well if you gone thru the Nissan forum you will run into alot of posts that describes both rad and condenser fans kicking on when calling for heat only. you can hear the fans kick on when you select heat. seems to be some odd way Nissan programmed the ecu. which only adds to the wear and tear 80k miles and condenser
fan already blow its bearings
Link to the part?
So sorry i will add it today. I though it was in the description, it appears i forgot to add it.
Should be a recall. Mine started making a slapping or drone sound at 40k miles.
I 100% agree with you.
jx35?
Not sure about the JX35. But the QX60 is very similar to the Pathfinder.
Now i see why they charge $1200 at dealership😂
