Whining fan!

[James_Hatton]

A little help and advice please.

The fan in the right front bumper is making a huge embarrassing whining sound when the ac is turned on. Do you think it's something simple like just needing a little grease, or something more like bearings, or even a replacement fan.

Is it easy to remove the fan, or is it part of the radiator, that needs to be removed as a complete unit?

What steps would I need to follow to remove the fan. Does it require the bumper to be removed?

Thanks in advance.

Your fan needs more discipline!

It could be as simple as debris caught in the fan or condensor.

Here's a DIY on replacing / inspecting the fans: http://pedrosgarage.com/Site_3/Replace_Radiator_Fan.html

I'm not sure if the bearings are servicable, but you can find a replacement fan here: Pelican Parts - Product Information: 996-624-135-00-M14
