Cooling Fan Motor And Shroud

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.
  1. Inspect the fan blade and shroud for any foreign materials. Clear the obstruction and continue the test procedure.
  2. Rotate the fan to see if any contact between the shroud and blade exists. If contact is observed, install a new fan shroud assembly.
  3. 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.
