How to Replace the Fan in a Plymouth Voyager

Your Plymouth Voyager has an electrically operated engine cooling fan. While the procedure to replace the engine cooling fan in a Plymouth Voyager is slightly more complicated than in other vehicles and requires you to work briefly beneath the vehicle, a novice can still accomplish these steps in under 2 hours.

Instructions

1

Unhook and isolate the negative battery cable on your Plymouth Voyager, then raise and safely support--using jack stands or ramps--your vehicle.

2

Remove the radiator outlet hose from its retaining clip and remove the retaining clip from the fan shroud (housing) unit. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, you also need to remove the lower transmission oil cooler lines from their retaining clips on the fan shroud and the radiator.

3

Lower your vehicle, then remove the entire air cleaner assembly and the air intake resonator. Unplug the cooling fan's electrical connectors and remove the coolant recovery system mounting screw from the upper radiator crossmember.

4

Disconnect the upper radiator mounts connecting it to the radiator crossmember, then remove the crossmember. Loosen and remove the mounting screws holding the cooling fan in place. You may need to raise and safely support the vehicle again to loosen and remove the lower mounting bolts.

5

Undo the upper cooling fan retaining clips and remove the entire cooling fan assembly from the vehicle. Place the new cooling fan assembly in the vehicle and replace the retaining clips, then replace the upper and lower mounting screws. Replace the upper radiator crossmember and reconnect the radiator mounts attaching to it.

6

Replace the coolant recovery system mounting screw in the upper radiator crossmember, replace the air cleaner assembly and air intake resonator, then plug the cooling fan's electrical connectors back in. Also, reconnect the transmission oil cooler lines to the fan shroud and radiator.

7

Place the radiator outlet house in its original location and replace the retaining clip in the fan shroud. Reconnect the battery cable to your vehicle, then run the engine up to normal operating speed and check for coolant leaks and proper engine cooling fan operation.
