WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the fan blade and shroud for any foreign materials. Clear the obstruction and continue the test procedure.
- Rotate the fan to see if any contact between the shroud and blade exists. If contact is observed, install a new fan shroud assembly.
- Rotate the fan by hand. The fan should rotate freely (no resistance should be felt, the fan will freewheel with minimum effort). If any resistance is present, install a new fan shroud assembly.
