Steps
Disconnect power and wiring
Switch the ignition off and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Unplug the fan connector and release the coolant-temperature-sensor harness from the fan shroud.
Remove the old fan
Remove the two fan fasteners, release its locating tabs, and lift the assembly out without bending the radiator or condenser fins.
Transfer the wiring retainer
Release the harness retainer from the old fan using care not to break its locking tabs. Attach it to the replacement fan in the same orientation.
Install and test the fan
Seat the fan in its mounts, reinstall its fasteners, and reconnect both harnesses. Reconnect the battery and verify fan operation when commanded; keep hands clear of the blades.
