FIC11/FIL11 Fan
WARNING: To avoid serious personal
injury, possible death, or damage to the
vehicle, disconnect the main negative battery
terminal and/or switch off the battery
disconnect switch first before removing or
installing any electrical components. When
working on or near the electrical fans, ensure
battery power is off or lockout vehicle ignition
so the system cannot activate unexpectedly.
NOTE: Take note of any harness fastener
locations and orientations that are attached to
the fan, prior to removal (edge clip mount zip
ties, fir tree mount zip ties, p-clips, j-clips,
connector mounting clips, etc.).
Removal
1. Cut/remove any zip ties that are securing the
fan.
2. Disconnect the fan connector from vehicle
connector.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the wires and/or
pin connections, do not pull back using the
wire harness to disconnect the connection.
Wiggling the connector body will help in
freeing the connection.
NOTE: Ensure the harness connector
electrical sockets remain free of dirt to ensure
a solid electrical connection when
reconnecting to the components.
3. Remove the fan mounting bolts (4 places).
NOTE: The fan mounting bolts will be reused
when installing the replacement fan.
Installation
CAUTION: To avoid potential damage to
the wiring, route all wires away from any
sharp edges, moving objects, and heat
sources.
CAUTION: All wires should be secured
every 12–18 inches. All zip ties must be
placed over wire loom/convoluted tubing and
not over bare wires.
NOTE: Reference the service drawings for
component part numbers, important notes,
specifications, component locations,
orientations, and torque specifications.
1. Place the replacement fan onto fan shroud and
orient per the installation notes or service
drawing.
NOTE: Pre-coat the first few threads of the
mounting bolts with Loctite 242 prior to
reinstalling.
2. Install any harness fasteners (p-clips or j-clips),
if applicable, onto the fan mounting holes that
were removed during the removal process,
along with the (4) mounting bolts. (Reference
the service drawing for fasteners and locations).
3. Torque the fan bolts to specification using a
crisscross pattern for torque sequence.
NOTE: Ensure the fan and all hardware have
been replaced per the service drawing.
4. Clean any dust and debris from the harness
connectors.
5. Connect the fan to the vehicle connector.
NOTE: Ensure that the locking tabs are fully
engaged.
