Hey all, ok so my old fan siezed up, i just put in a new one, but it doesn't turn on,

i tested it manually with cables from the battery, it works. but the car starts to run hot when i sit at a light, the fan doesn't turn on.


i can't find a fuse in the fuse box left side. is there another fuse for this?


thanks for any help

 

ok all, i got a multimeter and tested the wires on the fan control module (well what i think is the fan control module), i tihnk it's the module on the left fender well, it's all grey metal fist sized, and i see the fan wires going to it.


it's getting one 12V all the time. when i turn on the car with a/c on, one of the small wires gets some voltage.

does this mean the module is bad?


thanks for any input

 

I know there was a recall/TSB on the fan way back. I had mine done about 6 months after getting the car. As to what it is you are dealing with, sorry I'm not that tech oriented. Check the TSB section if you haven't already.

thanks. yea i looked there, not too much info. i think its the fan control module, im gonne try getting one tom

 

Yeah, that is the fan"s PWM module (control) your looking at. My dealership had replaced it due to a recall or TSB before I purchased my Xfire. When they reconnected the fan to it they plugged it in reverse polarity. Boy did it make a lot of noise when it turned on

Anyway, it sounds as if that is what's gone bad since you are getting voltage to it. If it was a recall, your dealership (or any Chrysler dealership) should replace it for you.

Hope this helps.
