so after the diagnostic today the radiator fan module and fan controller are toast! FML! Just sparks as w\he tried to start it up. Plus I need a new 50W fuse as well.

No wonder I'm not getting any cold air and my temp gauge is hot.

Plus the coolant light issue is a WHOLE another issue they say. It could be 2 sensors or it could be the wiring, but they need to take off my wheel, fender liner, and possibly my cluster. F That!

Sorry for the rant, but can anyone point me in the right direction for the fan module and fan controller. Dealer wants 1K for both.

TIA.

 

you obviously have a cooling issue and not an alternator one. i'd have gone down the former rabbit hole first and the alternator would have been my last on my malady list. so i'm guessing no extended warranty and all that? heat kills, so you've got to address that.

 

Fans on ebay are $100 to $150.
This one is less,http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHRYS...item43a6190270


I Googled 0255455932 and got prices 0f $225 and $255. (New)
A used one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chrys...item43a3a95905

eBay can be your friend.

 

I haven't read all of the posts and cross-threads on your issue, but has your fan been replaced under the Campaign

#TBS: 30-Mar-06 - E19 - Campaign - Cooling Fan and or Motor Assembly Replacement

If it wasn't, maybe a bad fan took out the controller?

Or has this already been suggested?

 

The alternator was faulty regardless. The problem was they diagnosed everything back in Jan when the smoke was coming from my hood and when my coolant light was on, so how in the hell did they not know the fan was toast? Why tell me that the alternator would resolve the issue? Just pisses me off that now after I had to tell them its obviously something else they find the issue. Some Chrysler tech's are jokes.

Now I wonder if the smoke was from the fan going out which may have blew the alternator or vice versa.

 

I'm not too knowledgeable but the rad fan module is the actual fan correct?

Does anyone have the picture of the fan controller?

Thanks.

 

I have no picture, but it is the tan colored box with cooling fins (heatsinks) mounted on the wheel well, driver's side. Right behind the headlight housing.

 

Thanks max. Is the the rad fan module the actual fan that sits behind the radiator?

They gave me a part # of 5101095AA and 68017820AA

 

Mine say:

Fan (whirly thing) A202 500 78 03
Controller (Electrical bit) A025 545 59 32

Hope this gets you there!

Has the fan been replaced under the campaign?

 

The numbers are switched, or at least the controller number is.
We do a pretty good job of editing one another's posts, eh?

 

Nice catch, Gramps! Must have cleaned the glasses, 'eh?

That's embarrassing. I haven't even started drinking yet!

 

Thanks Max. I went to Chrysler they printed me out these documents. I need #9 on the cooling sheet as the "Rad Fan Module" and #8 on the electrical sheet as the "fan controller". Although in the pic the fan controller is on the passenger side it seems instead of the driver side maybe its different with the SRT. Does that seem right on both?

As for the fan campaign Chrysler ran my VIN # and said no such thing came up? Is their a website or documents I can show them?

Thanks guys for the help much appreciated.

 

Those are the correct parts and numbers I gave you (now in the correct order owing to a corrective nudge from north of the border).

What year is your car?

 

We are talking about part number one on the electrical sheet.

 

I don't think so. #8 is the fan control module, so far as I know.

 

Sorry 180, item #1 is the Alarm module.
Fig 8-405 Item #8 is the Module,Cooling, Cooling Fan Motor Control #05102818AA.
And Fig 7-110 the radiator fan is item #9 Fan,Cooling #05101095AA.

Softball, you should be able to find the parts and install them yourself in 30 minutes or less. Including the 50amp fuse in the distribution panel right in front of the electronics box that has the ECU, BCM and RCM in it.

Good luck.

 

Where the hell did that drawing come from? The part is on the wrong side, are we talking about a UK car or something. I just looked at the side and said thats the part. Oops.

 

I agree, the location they show is wrong...

maybe the guy was dyslexic.....

 

German yes.....building right and left hand drives on a Monday, doesn't mix.....

 

that's some sage advice. i never owned a full torx set until i bought the graphite. have fun with it, softball. if i were any closer, i'd help you with it.
