Air Conditioning › Components › Electric Fan

Air Conditioning Condenser Electric Fan:

Most vehicles with air conditioning require an electrical fan to assist air flow, either pushing or pulling the air through the condenser, depending on which side of the condenser the fan is placed.
Most modern vehicles now have smaller front grilles or bumper bar openings. This causes poor air flow conditions especially at idle when A/C performance is limited by the amount of air flow over the condenser.
DIAGNOSE
Apply Battery positive and negative to the fan, if the fan does not operate it should be replaced. If the fan rubs the sides or makes bearing noise, it should be replaced.
REPLACE
This should be done by a qualified technician only. The A/C System needs to be evacuated first. A machine is used in most cases to remove any existing freon from the system. Then just remove the hoses and a few bolts. For specific removal procedures get an Online Repair Manual
