Hi all,

I’m truly struggling with the cooling fan at this point. I’ve replaced the entire cooling system, gone through several fan modules (all gates), had the purple power wire replaced, and am now on my third fan assembly (VDO units). I’ve had intermittent success, but eventually run into another failure. Close to giving up quite frankly.

Replacing the fan and module initially worked.. after sometime that failed. Replaced the module again.. worked for a bit then failed. Addressed the power wire… worked for several months then failed again. Replaced another module. Brake vac pump started oil one day and fan stopped working.. rebuilt the pump and replaced the fan module again... worked for a few days then failed a few days later with the fan stuck on draining the battery. Swapped with a new module to test and same issue.. replaced fan assembly and module again.. worked for about a month and now I’m back to my hell with a no fan.

Is the ECM the next culprit? The connector from the ECM wiring to the fan? I don’t have auto logic or any fancy diagnostic tools, but might be forced to go down that route or give up and I don’t like giving up.

@p_gill I know you are out there somewhere
