Check the fuse, have a cold beverage, then check at the fan motor connector for power, have another cold beverage. Then yank the dash and check the switch, after you enjoy a cold beverage. Process of elimination. | | | Re: Fan quit working today | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 185 member | OP member Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 185 | Thanks. That is better than replacing all the possible causes! | | | Re: Fan quit working today | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 21,211 Likes: 25 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 21,211 Likes: 25 | and if that doesn't work, have a cold beverage.

Edit It is USUALLY mounted under the hood in the fan box, the part you will see is like two inch by two inch square.

I opened the hood to look for something out of the ordinary, then slammed it shut. Tried the fan again and. . . IT WORKED. This has me puzzled now as I don't know what to test or check since its working again. I am guessing blower switch on the dash???? | | | Re: Fan quit working today | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 | Sounds like a ground issue.
