What is the method for removing the radiator fan on a Ford Mondeo?
2 Answers
Ford Mondeo radiator fan removal method is as follows: 1. Disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses: The car radiator generally refers to the car cooling system radiator, which is part of the engine water cooling system. The radiator in the engine water cooling system consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. Turn the pressure cap counterclockwise. If you hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound disappears before disconnecting the radiator hoses. 2. Then slowly remove the radiator mounting screws. 3. Finally, use special tools to disconnect the radiator fan plug to complete the removal.
When I last replaced the fan on my Ford Mondeo, I noticed several key points. You must first disconnect the negative battery terminal and depressurize the cooling system for over half an hour to avoid burns. Prepare a basin to collect the coolant. After removing the front bumper trim, you'll see the upper and lower bracket screws securing the fan—remember to use a socket wrench to reach through the radiator gap for removal, as the bottom screw is particularly tricky. The wiring harness connector has a clip, so don't yank it; press the gray latch and gently wiggle it out for safety. The entire fan assembly must be pulled out sideways, being careful not to scratch the fins. It’s actually a good idea to check the radiator and condenser for debris while you’re at it—last time, I pulled out quite a bit of cottonwood fluff.
