How to replace the Cooling Fan Assembly and Fan Clutch in the front of a Ford Explorer?

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Rock the fan back and forth by hand to check for excessive bearing play. With the engine cold, turn the fan blades by hand. The fan should turn freely. Visually inspect for substantial fluid leakage from the clutch assembly. If problems are noted, replace the clutch assembly. Reconnect the battery cable and warm up the engine. With the engine completely warmed up, turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. Tum the fan by hand. Some drag should be evident. If the fan turns easily, replace the fan clutch. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Remove the air cleaner duct from the throttle body and air cleaner housing. Disconnect the reservoir hose from the radiator filler neck. Remove the screws securing the shroud to the radiator and slide the shroud toward the engine. Loosen the clutch hub nut as follows: Note: This nut has standard right-hand threads and must be rotated counter-clockwise for removal. Remove the large nut securing the clutch hub assembly to the water pump drivebelt hub. Use the two special tools, available at most auto parts stores. If the special tools are not available, use a strap wrench to hold the assembly from rotating and use a large adjustable wrench to remove the large nut. Lift the shroud and the fan/clutch assembly out of the engine compartment together. The shroud must come out with the fan assembly. Inspect the fan blades for damage and defects. Replace it if necessary by removing the bolts securing the fan to the clutch assembly. If the fan clutch is stored, position it with the radiator side facing down. Installation is the reverse of the removal steps. Be sure to tighten the fan and clutch nut evenly.

Ford Explorer Cooling Fan Assembly

The Ford Explorer Cooling Fan Assembly helps maintain the engine temperature by drawing cooling air through the radiator when the natural airflow is deficient. The purpose of the Cooling Fan Assembly is to mount to the radiator core tubes and fins. It includes a fan blade that spins, a motor, and a shroud that is shaped for directing airflow so that heat leaves the coolant. After this, the coolant will loop back into the engine. In prior Explorer editions, the mechanical Cooling Fan Assembly constantly rotated thanks to a belt. The newer generations of Ford SUVs, however, feature an electric Cooling Fan Assembly that only activates when sensors detect slow-moving traffic or idling, reducing wasted power and noise. The two styles can perform the same task, but they are actuated differently. Mechanical fans spin at the same speed as the engine while electric fans operate on demand. The electric option is better at maintaining a steady temperature. Moreover, the electric fan enhances fuel economy, which has been a feature of Ford fan designs. An efficient Cooling Fan Assembly prevents overheating while extending the life of the engine of your Explorer and smooths your Ford driving experience whether you drive the older version of the Explorer or a newer one.

We provide a wide range of Ford Explorer Cooling Fan Assembly at the optimal prices. If you need Ford Explorer Cooling Fan Assembly, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your doorstep with a fast delivery service.
