Mesoam Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Car overheated, didn't hear the fan go on, scanned with Vida and came up with P069100 fan 1 control circuit low P048000 Fan 1 control circuit Fan relay? Switch? Blades turn fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Whole fan assembly has to be replaced to fix the switch? Where's Rich Kelly he'd have a work around for this ridiculousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ordered the fan assembly, installation looks fairly straight forward in the vida instructions. Still can't believe the whole thing has to be replaced. I'm wondering if it can just be direct wired as an exhaust fan for a shop, seems like a waste of a good motor.

Ihatespeedbumps Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 The fan control module is built into the radiator fan assembly, which requires the whole unit to be replaced. Sorry, not like an 850 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Well this turned fun. Got the fan done and as I was about to tighten the rad up it starts dripping coolant in my face...Yangbang came over today and we spend most of the day doing the rad/expansion tank and in the process broke the hood latch cable. Pro tip, if the cable breaks you can reach the latches if you pull the skid plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
