I have never seen a more complicated ridiculous piece of crap design for a simple cooling fan! Thank you for your video, it was clear and concise, very well done!

[@gagerodawald7838]

Do a Chrysler 200

[@AndrewRevelle]

Awesome video helped a bunch. Thank you.

[@delmarea_k1624]

Thank you so much!!! Your directions where so thorough, I just wish I had the drill. I had to do everything manual with a wrench or so 😭, but you saved me a ton of money, and for that I am grateful.

[@poles38]

So after watching other videos. I found that you can change this in under an hour. Without removing half the front end.
I changed mine out and it came out the top! Wasn’t hard at all!
2012 Cruise 1.8L automatic transmission
I assume this is a Stealership’s way to do it, but this isn’t how you have to do it.

[@Jonnydeerhunter]

Thank God this car is the same color as mine. I'd be lost otherwise. Lol
Thanks for the help!

[@geoffschulz]

Sorry you only have 16 likes for this video, I wish I could give you 1000. You answered every question I had!

[@kianaCAB]

Is this in real time, not sped up at all? If so that was quick work!

[@corbinhoder3384]

This video is awesome, my only issue is, I have transmission lines above my fan. An updated video with that part would be sick. I had to basically rip my radiator fan out. About to hopefully get my new fan in.

[@angusangus1871]

Well I just finished this procedure on my wife's 2015 cruze. Your video was a God send . Thanks again.
Ps . A simple test one can do to verify a failed condenser/resistor/module or whatever you like to call it , without guessing or the need of an expensive tool .
Unplug the 4 conductor plug at the shroud ,.Use a multimeter to measure continuity on 3 of the male/pins ( center two small pins and leftmost large pin . Connect the ground to the large rightmost pin when facing the car . probe each of the 3 remaining pins for continuity .
6 hr leisure job to complete.

Thanks for this video. Very well done and detailed.

[@jc4lifejc]

Thank so much for video. Just finished job and this video was very helpful.

[@nsanemedik4674]

I just replaced my fan yesterday, u DO NOT haft to pull the from clip off, I pulled it loose from the inside and voila, took 30 minutes

[@roger55es]

Excellent work Thanks

[@toigatuning120]

Remember folks to always disconnect the battery if using an impact around air bag sensors. Also shouldn't you make sure the fan actually works before putting everything back together? Just my 2 cents. Great job explaining how to undo the wiring connectors though. Nobody does that.

[@keithkohl1256]

Do you have any videos on radiator fan balance or adjustments? When I turn the A/C on, and the fan start turning, there is a clicking/rubbing noise each rotation...?

[@owboky102050]

What are those 2 sensors under the cross support for that you disconnected ?

[@jydog57]

OH my goodness. I don't feel so bad now on what it cost to replace on son's cruze.

[@Ismael_Arenivar]

What's between the radiator and the condenser?

[@christierose-gw2dm]

Do you have a video for a 2015 Chevy Sonic 1.4 turbo engine for the radiator fan?

+Christie Rose We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@user-db8xz4st6y]

That car is a nightmare to work with everything

[@poles38]

Who was the Idiot Engineer, that designed this.
We changed one on a Lincoln that took less than an hour. Didn’t have to remove 90% of this.
