How to diagnose and replace a failed fan clutch and Engine Cooling Fan on Ford Expedition?

Symptoms of failure of the fan clutch include continuous noisy operation, looseness, vibration, and evidence of silicone fluid leaks. On 2007 and later Expedition/Navigator models, check for codes related to the electronic fan clutch system using a scan tool. Rock the fan back and forth by hand to check for excessive bearing play. With the engine cold, turn the blades by hand to ensure the fan turns freely. Visually inspect for substantial fluid leakage from the fan clutch assembly, a deformed bi-metal spring, or grease leakage from the cooling fan bearing. If any of these conditions exist, replace the fan clutch. When the engine is warmed up, turn off the ignition switch and turn the fan by hand. Some resistance should be felt. If the fan turns easily, replace the fan clutch. To remove and install the fan clutch, start by disconnecting the battery cable at the negative battery terminal. Remove the air cleaner assembly and, on 2007 and later Expedition/Navigator models, remove the screws securing the underhood fuse/relay box to the fan shroud and set it aside. Drain the cooling system and remove the plastic air deflector over the radiator. Remove the upper radiator hose and the degas bottle from the left side of the radiator, disconnecting the hose connected to the radiator. Use a special two-part fan wrench set to remove the cooling fan assembly. Hold the water pump pulley with the clutch-holding tool and an extension while turning the clutch nut with the longer tool. Note that on some models, the fan clutch hub nut is left-hand thread. Unbolt the fan shroud and lift the fan assembly and shroud out of the engine compartment together. The fan clutch can be unbolted from the fan blade assembly for replacement. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Ford Expedition Fan Clutch

Ford Expedition Fan Clutch is an essential item which determines the rotation speed of the cooling fan to ensure that the engine does not overheat. This absolute type of the thermostatic device enables the fan to free-wheel at lower temperature thereby helping out the engine load that in turn warms up the engine faster. The Fan Clutch is attached to the water pump pulley and is activated when the temperature of the engine rises with the crankshaft so as to pull air through the radiator to cool the coolant. Ford Expedition vehicles can contain a viscous type of Fan Clutches, fluid couplings or electronically managed types that allow cooling on the basis of various signals from the engine to enhance the performance of vehicles and their efficiency.

We provide a wide range of Ford Expedition Fan Clutch at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Expedition Fan Clutch, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
