- REMOVE THE BAR ABOVE THE RADIATOR THAT THE RADIATOR SUPPORT BRACKETS BOLT INTO BY REMOVING THE FOUR BOLTS. THIS WILL MAKE THE JOB MUCH EASIER.
This fan was vibrating like crazy one day while running the a/c. I ordered a new one from an eBay and it showed up in just a few days. Let's see how to get the old one out and the new one back in.
This process should apply to the fourth generation Chrysler RS platform 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Town & Country 3.8L

As some have mentioned, the top cross brace was supposed come off with latch/cable attached, and just put to the side. Then right side hose needs disconnecting and then fan assembly can be pulled up and out. Was painful watching this video..lol. But at least you got it done. I hope, that if You Ever decide to do the rear sparkplug, you remove that wiper motor assembly first. That will give you great and proper access to anything back there.
J P you are correct. I should have removed the cross brace... Lessons learned. Thanks for the tip on the wiper motor, will do. ~Mr. C.
Right side hose does not need to be removed. It would appear it does however, if tilted and angled just right it will come right out without damaging anything in the process. 2006 town and country 3.3.
@@Roland-Henry I just a rebuilt tranny put up, $1,775.00.. smh.
thank you. the advice on squeezing the the very end of electrical clip was extremely helpful!!!!!
@GaryinCO you are very welcome. Glad to help. Thank you for letting me know it was a helpful video. That means a lot to me. Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.
Good job buddy. I appreciate the help. Your work and tips by the other people who commented will make my job a success. Thanks again .
Dwayne Nero thank you and you are very welcome. ~Mr. C.
5 min to remove the cross bar and no damage to the radiator fins inside when removing and installing the cooling fan
Gary Sticka I was thinking the saaaaaame thing lol
Gary Sticka after looking over the front end of the van I will agree with your "recommendation" . Removing the cross bar would have been easier. ~ Mr. C.
that's what I did I was thing the same just remove the cross bar it save the struggle
I'm currently replacing the fan assembly in my 2007 Dodge Grand caravan. And yes, I can confirm it is way easier than it would have been had I not removed that big metal crossbar!
This video was still very valuable to me though because I was having a really hard time figuring out how to unplug those electrical plugs. Thanks for the footage and the explanation!
Surf Wisely.
I was going to watch this video and it hit me I could just remove that haha I was thinking it’s dumb u would have to remove the radiator so I looked up a video but then it hit me lmao
It's a thumbs down but I didn't click it. That cross member comes off so easy. I can appreciate not having to take too many things apart but unfortunately it's the proper and actually faster way to do it.
Mike Swisher thanks for the tip. I will try that next time. ~Mr. C.
Thank you for the video it was a big help
@brian cox happy to do it. A step I forgot is removing the upper crossmember over the radiator. It would make things much easier. Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Mr. C.
Beautiful grease tattoo on your right arm. Thanks for the video.
Adolfo Gomez-Herrera thanks! I worked hard for that. Thanks for watching. ~Mr. C.
Just had to have this replaced wasnt working wish i had seen this befor i spent 600
@juliennebrendadevos6004 that's a bummer. Yes it was super easy. I should have removed the cross member to make it easier. Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Mr. C.
Need to remove the top metal bar .
Noro Dino thanks for the tip. ~ Mr. C.
I really enjoyed watching this video, it was very helpful. Thanks
Thank you for this video the EXACT same thing happen to my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SE today with the exact same driver side fan. Good job!! How much did you pay for the fan assembly if you dont mind me asking?
F P glad you found the channel. Thank you for the kind comment. Below is a link to the fan I purchased. The price is the same (~$100) as when I purchased one.~Mr. C.

@@NaturesCadenceFarm thank you i fixed it that day!! Works like a charm!!! God bless ✌
Any idea what the actual fan size is? 10 or 12” possibly?
Roland Henry my guess would be closer to 12". Thanks for watching! ~Mr. C.
What does it mean if coolant is leaking through the fan?
beetrue2ufirst I would suspect a leak in the radiator or hoses. ~Mr. C.
How do you get the latch out of the way?
Mr. Ray I believe you are referring to the hood latch assembly. I removed the two 10mm head bolts that attach it to the cross member. If you watch the video around 8:05 I reinstall it but that will give you an idea of how it should come off. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching and asking. ~Mr. C.
Take the cross member off, you can leave the latch attached and just move the whole thing aside.
Why not show the hardest part, old fan removal?
@David Gorey excellent question. If I remember correctly I removed it to investigate then decided to make the video. Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm Thank you for your video, removal of the upper radiator crossmember held in with 4 bolts was a game changer, I’m in a wheelchair and did this job on my 2006 gran caravan. The hardest part was removing the 2 power supply plug clips. Thanx again
@David Gorey glad to hear everything went well. Keep up the good work! Happy wrenching. ~Mr. C.
Nice video and good job
Thank you for the explanation
Muchas gracias 👍
