Steps
- Check the fan circuit
With the vehicle safely stationary, command the A/C on and observe whether the condenser fan runs. Inspect the relevant fuse before replacing parts; a repeatedly blown fuse points to an electrical fault that needs diagnosis.
- Disconnect the battery
Switch the ignition off and disconnect the negative battery cable with an 8 mm wrench. Keep the cable isolated from the terminal while working around the fan wiring.
- Remove the old fan assembly
Remove the lower shield and the fasteners securing the radiator area. Unplug the fan connector, loosen the radiator mounts as needed for clearance, remove the fan's retaining bolts, and lift the assembly out carefully.
- Install the new fan and reconnect power
Lower the replacement fan into position and secure it to the radiator. Restore the radiator mounts and lower shield, reconnect the fan harness and negative battery cable, then run the A/C and confirm the fan operates without contacting surrounding parts.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
