Tell me about my Cooling Fan Replacement

The cooling fan helps regulate your engine’s temperature by drawing air through the radiator to cool the coolant. If the cooling fan fails, your engine may overheat, especially in traffic or at low speeds. Replacing a faulty cooling fan ensures your engine maintains a safe operating temperature and prevents serious damage.

What is a cooling fan replacement?

Cooling fan replacement involves removing the faulty electric or mechanical fan and installing a new one. The replacement restores proper airflow through the radiator, ensuring the engine stays cool in all driving conditions.

Why do you need a cooling fan replacement?

If the cooling fan doesn’t work, the radiator cannot dissipate heat effectively. This leads to overheating, reduced performance, and the risk of severe engine damage such as a blown head gasket or warped cylinder head.

Common signs you need a cooling fan replacement

  • Engine overheating, especially in traffic or while idling
  • Cooling fan not turning on when the engine is hot
  • Loud grinding or whining noise from the fan area
  • Air conditioning not cooling properly at low speeds
  • Blown fuses or electrical faults related to the fan circuit

What happens during a cooling fan replacement?

A mechanic will:

  1. Inspect the fan, wiring, and relay for faults
  2. Remove the damaged or faulty cooling fan
  3. Install a new fan assembly matched to the vehicle
  4. Reconnect wiring or belts depending on fan type
  5. Test the fan’s operation at different engine temperatures
  6. Check the cooling system for proper performance

How much does a cooling fan replacement cost?

Cooling fan replacement typically costs $400–$800, depending on the vehicle and whether it uses a single fan, dual fans, or an integrated fan module. Labour costs may be higher on vehicles with difficult access.

Is it unsafe to drive with a faulty cooling fan?

Yes. Without a working cooling fan, your engine may overheat quickly in traffic, leading to major engine damage. It is unsafe to drive with a faulty cooling fan and the issue should be repaired immediately.
