Overheating due to passanger side fan?MexRocket 04-17-2006, 05:04 PM Well I am hoping you guys can help, Apperently the fan is blowing a fuse and a "modulator" because of the faulty wiring inside the fan motor, The repair place is wanting $1000 for the fan assembly plus labor. I just asked him, "So it's basically a bad fan correct? Yah but, you can't just buy a single fan for the passanger side." Ok wtf? Any input, 97 3.5L intrepid, or a 95 I don't remember, BUt if it is just the fucking fan motor, wouldn't buying a fan from somewhere else and installing it be an ok fix? Wtf is this modulator that he is talking about? Help ASAP, thanks. AWP9521 04-18-2006, 12:13 PM The fans are actually a special part because they have 2 speed motors on them, simply replacing them with an aftermarket type unit may not do the job because of the 2 speed system. To the best of my knowledge you can't just replace one motor, the whole assembly has to be changed, you might want to see if you can get a replacement at a wrecking yard and just change them. I don't know what your mechanic is talking about in regards to a "modulator" the speeds of the cooling fans on these cars are controlled by 2 relays in the power distribution box, one for the low speed setting and the other for the high speed setting.

Not sure how similar. On the Concode there are two fans. I bought pass side at Dodge dealer and installed. Worked fine and not too expensive $110. (I thnk). Install is not easy, but doable. Must disconnect quite a lot ahead of radiator to allow you to pull radiator forward to give room to remove/install fan. I would recommend replacing both fans at once as about 1 year after installing one, the other died. Too big a job not to do both at once. If you look for aftermarket fans, they will tell you all the wrong stuff. Ken vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
