Function And Typical Failure Modes
The radiator fan draws ambient air through the radiator and AC condenser to remove engine heat and support cooling when vehicle speed is low or when the air conditioning is in heavy use. Common causes of failure include electric motor wear (bearing or winding failure), damaged blades, wiring or connector faults, and relay or fuse problems. Symptoms of a failing fan include engine temperature rise, reduced air conditioning efficiency, abnormal noises from the fan area, or the fan not spinning when expected.
Replacement And Fitment Guidance
Replacement is generally straightforward for an experienced mechanic or a competent DIYer. Typical steps: disconnect the negative battery terminal; gain access to the fan assembly (engine cover, air intake or front trim may need removal depending on the model); unplug the electrical connector; unbolt the fan or fan shroud from its mounts; fit the replacement unit, secure fasteners and reconnect the wiring; reconnect the battery and verify correct operation. Allow a few hours for removal and refitment. Always confirm compatibility using the OE codes 9656346880 and 1253K6 before ordering.
