hey I remember a while back on the old board somebody saying they had thier radiator fan stop working and going out after going through a bunch of mud. That happened to me today. So we left and by the time I got home the fan was working again. darn electric fan. Has anybody come across a fix for this??? Parakeet |

KJ-BOL's was doing the same darn thing at the badlands. He went and blasted it at thier high pressure wash and it started working again. Maybe gunk in the motor or on the contacts? |

Maybe gunk in the motor or on the contacts? Many people just take them apart and clean them out really good and that fixes them. |

If the fan isn't turning, you need to pull the motor apart and clean the mud off the brushes and rear contact, then pack the rear copper contacts with die-electric grease. Pulling the shroud and taking the motor apart is about an hour job and very simple. |
