Hi everyone, I have a 96 Continental. Both of radiator fans have smoked, got the new fan motors from Autozone. What is the best way to remove the radiator fan assembly. It looks like there are lots of wires in the way to pull the fan assembly out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you have to pull it out from the bottom..

According to chilton's, it comes out the top.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the radiator upper sight shield.
3. Disengage the electrical connector, then remove the integrated relay control/constant control relay module assembly located on the radiator support.
4. Disconnect the fan electrical connector.
5. If necessary, remove the air bag crash sensor.
6. Unbolt the fan/shroud assembly from the radiator and remove.
Slide the fan as an assembly up and away from the radiator. Be careful not to dislodge the mounting stud on the left side
7. Remove the retainer and the fan from the motor shaft and unbolt the fan motor from the shroud.
8. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedures. Tighten the fan shroud retaining bolt to 23–33 inch lbs. (2.6–3.7 Nm). Tighten the fan shroud retaining nut to 71–106 inch lbs. (8–12 Nm).
PM me if you need some pictures.
