Matt's 95 Stang

Cooling fan doesnt want to kick on. Knowing the cooling problems Ive had with this car this is just another kick in the nuts.

I know there is a relay - is it in the fuse block under the hood?
Is there a fuse that possible died? Location?
Is the fan suppose to kick on when the "Max A/C" function is turned on?
How often do the motors on the fan die?
Other possible ideas?

Right now the car will get to overheating mark within 5 minutes of driving....Im getting soooo freaken tired of heating issues with this car....

Thanks,
Matthew

the relay is part of the ccrm (constant control relay module) the fan should come on with the ac. unplug the fans electrical connector an use a test light to see if you are getting power and ground to the fan with the ac on. the fuse for the fan is a 60amp maxi fuse that is in the underhood fuse box. fan motors can burn out, but so can the ccrm

The fan in my 95' died at about 140k, I replaced the motor with a new one from Ford.

Its pretty easy, just remove the spring clip holding the fan blades to the motors shaft, swap onto the new motor.

The way I tested my fan motor was to put direct power to it with the cars bat, nothing.

I havnt ever had the relay die on me.

And to add:
don't drive car with fans not working but I figure this should be obvious.

btw, this might be a good time to think about upgrading to a 97-98 Cobra or Mark VIII fan.

Its something around 4500cfm on the LOW fan and 5000-5600 on high. There are different reports about the cfm.
