Had my A/C fans quit again 2nd time. back in May of 13 the fans failed and I complained to FORD they were willing to pay 1/2 the bill 350.00 usd. Here its 3 years later and they quit again. Contacted my dealer and FORD with the information that the fans quit again. Dealer wanted me to bring the explorer in for diagnostic check, I told them it was the fans-- the A/C was not working right and the engine was making a strange sound. The dealer had the parts and I purchased them and started my own diagnostics.
Purchased the Fans on the 9/14/2016 and installed them on 9/15/2016 after i verified the installed fans were bad--
1. remove fan controller from new fan and replace with old fan controller-- fans did not run
2. slave in new fan and controller to make sure all is good -- turn explorer on and go to max A/C fans work!! turn off explorer and slave in old fan controller on new fans and start explorer go to max A/C fans work!! must be a bad fan motor on old fan unit.
3. remove and replace fan unit and connect to vehicle install all removed parts start explorer and go to MAX A/C -- FANS WORK!!! I saved myself about 500.00
4. from start to finish only took me about 1 hour total and I'm not a Ford certified Mechanic -- I was an Avionics Technician in the military for 28 years
All is good old fans Made in USA and Assembled in USA new fans the same
