Replacement of the Sylphy's Cooling Fan?
2 Answers
First, open the car's hood and remove the intake pipe located above the fan. The electric fan and air conditioning fan are located on the fan frame with four corners, each having a screw. Use professional tools to unscrew these four screws. Once all the screws are removed, the fan can be taken off the car, and finally, replace it with a new electric fan.
Last time I replaced the radiator fan on my Sylphy, it was quite a hassle. First, I had to prepare wrenches and socket tools, and park the car on level ground with the engine off. Safety first—I disconnected the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits. After lifting the hood, I found the fan usually sits behind the radiator. The mounting screws on the Sylphy were quite tight, so I had to loosen them slowly. When removing the old fan, I was careful not to damage the wiring connectors. Installing the new one required ensuring it was firmly secured. For testing, I started the engine to check if the fan spun; otherwise, I’d need to inspect the relay or wiring. The Sylphy’s fan tends to fail, possibly due to dust buildup or motor aging, so I recommend regular cleaning of the radiator fins to prevent overheating. DIY saves on repair costs, but if you’re inexperienced, it’s best to bring a car-savvy friend to double-check. After the replacement, the car ran much smoother.
