fried radiator fan connection

[lenny127]

fan wouldnt come on .... checked the 2 relays and fuse , all good ... then i start to pull the fan and check connector .... and this ....



my question , .... this means fried fan ? resistor ? or both ... i have a track pack so my radiator made it so this fan is glued to the bov and pipes ... before i yank the fan all the way wanted to hear opinions , electrical is not my thing.


thanks

Had the same thing happen to me. Seems to be a common issue. If you wiggle the connection and fan comes on (engine will act like it’s about to stall), then your fan and resistor is ok. I just replaced the plug and hasn’t happened since. The only thing I can think of is maybe this happens if you spray the engine bay with water. Don’t know what else it could be.

yup , had a car wash today and it happened afterwards .... I just hope that its the connector only and not the fan but either way i have to pull it to test it .... thanks man ... looks like we have similar set up
