Radiator Fan

[Peter Golledge]

Sadly I've had that failure.  Bad fan if it doesn't spin with a touch.

If you don't have the TSB for fuse for the fan (80A!) then disconnect the battery before you burn the wiring harness on after run.

I did "reman" one of these by replacing the bearings/brushes once upon a time when I didn't have access to a replacement.
