How to Replace the Fan in a Nissan Sentra

A novice can replace the engine fan in a Nissan Sentra in about an hour, using little more than a wrench and a screwdriver.

Instructions

1

Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable on your Nissan Sentra, then remove the radiator dynamic damper.

2

Unplug the fan's electrical connector, then loosen and remove the bolts holding the engine cooling fan in place against your vehicle's radiator. Place the bolts in a small container to prevent them from getting lost.

3

Lift the engine cooling fan assembly carefully out of the engine compartment and replace it with the new fan assembly. Tighten the mounting bolts to hold the new assembly in place.

4

Plug the engine cooling fan's electrical connector back into place, reinstall the radiator dynamic damper and reconnect the negative battery cable.

5

Start your vehicle's engine and check for coolant leaks, then verify that the engine cooling fan is operating properly.
