Re: Coolant Flush
Yea, good chance the fan is going bad and blowing the fuse, DO NOT put a bigger fuse in it.

Let's have some fun and put a piece of aluminum foil or a paper clip in place of the fuse.Leonard 95 wrote:Yea, good chance the fan is going bad and blowing the fuse, DO NOT put a bigger fuse in it.

Re: Coolant Flush
LMAO! I agree with Tony!
David thanks for the advice. I think I will have to order a new fan from Ford. Of course I will install it because the techs at Stuteville suck! Thanks guys. I will keep this thread updated.

Re: Coolant Flush
Well shit. I installed the fan and replaced the fuse. The fan turned on like a charm... until I drove it. I turned the ac on and off and the heater. Restarted the car 3 times and it worked no problem. I took a test drive and the fan does not work anymore.... this sucks.

Re: Coolant Flush

Re: Coolant Flush
I replaced the fan with the OEM fan. It still no worky. Checked the battery and it is good at 12.75 at idle. The fan even turns on with the low setting. Then you hear the car almost lose power and try to kick the fan on hi after I have it running for awhile. The battery then was a 13.25 and the fan quit. So it looks like it has something to do with the hi setting on the cooling fan.

Re: Coolant Flush
Josh the voltage seems low at 12.75 at idle for the battery. Most I have seen were closer to 14 volts with the car running and 12 ish with the car off. Might have an issue with the regulator

+1. I just got fixing an amplifier that wasn't working properly. But with the car running we hooked up a volt meter and I was putting out 13.8. Car off it was sitting at 12.5. I think you have a voltage issue un related to the fan.

Re: Coolant Flush
12.75 with the car off indicates a good battery. Are you running UDPs, Joshua? If so, rev the engine and see if the voltage increases - if it does, your alternator is OK. If you're not running UDPs, and/or if voltage doesn't increase when you rev the engine, I'd change out the alternator.

Re: Coolant Flush
Fixed. After some more troubleshooting at lunch, I went bought a new relay. It was the hi cooling fan relay. Only cost me 14 dollars instead of the price of a new PCM.

Re: Coolant Flush
Sweet! That was going to be my next suggestion was a relay. I knew it had to be something electrical somewhere.
