When the engine is cold, open the hood before starting up. Try and spin the fan by hand. The fan should spin with considerable resistance. If the fan free wheels with no resistance then the fan clutch is bad. If the fan does not spin at all, the clutch is seized.

How do you remove clutch fan on a Ford F-250?

To remove the clutch fan on these Fords you will need to get a specialized tool from your local auto parts store. This tool allows to hold the water pump retaining bolts, then use a 1 7/8 wrench on the clutch fan. Check your belt routing label. This will tell you if your fan clutch is left hand thread.


Why does not radiator fan run when ac is of on an 2001 Ford crown Victoria p71?

Hard to understand your question! First, on the crowns with clutch fan and electric fan. When the a/c is off, just the clutch fan will run, if not then have it replaced, when the engine gets too hot then the electric fan will start, if not have the sensor replaced, or check the fan. When you put the a/c on, the electric fan will start, and the clutch fan will stop. Both are temp. sensitive. If the electric fan is always on, then the clutch fan will not turn. Have the sensor checked. I hope this covers your problem.


Can a Blown catalytic converter cause mustang to over heat?

No, it cant. Check your thermostat to see if it is functioning properly. Next and the most important check is to do a fan clutch test. 1. Shut of engine 2. Spin the radiator fan blade. 3. If your fan clutch is working ( dampened) it should only turn 1/2 to maybe 1 revolution. If it continues to spin, then the fan clutch is shot and you are not pulling in any air to cool the radiator. If this is the case, replace the fan ( clutch comes with the fan). This answer does not pertain to electric fans


Should you be able to stop the cooling fan while the engine is running?

if fan is belt driven you have a worn fan clutch check where shaft enters clutch if there is any leaks or clumps of road grime sticking to fan clutch its lost its internal oil supply causing slippage some clutches will slip when engine is cold and automatically spin faster as temp rises this is called a thermostatically controlled fan clutch also w/engine off grab fan firmly and check for any play between blade and shaft replace as needed
