HOW TO REPLACE AN AC CONDENSER FAN
When the AC system needs extra help to cool the condenser, the AC condenser fan turns on. Most modern cars are equipped with double electric fans. One will be for the radiator the other is for the condenser. The condenser fan is used to blow air through the condenser while the car is stationary or at low speeds, which allows the AC to remain at the same temperature inside the vehicle.
Without the condenser fan, the AC system may stop working. This is because the pressure becomes too high if the refrigerant is not cooled from a hot gas to a liquid. The car's computer detects that the pressure is rising too high and disables the AC system. This article will cover how to replace the condenser fan on most vehicle models. The fan should only be replaced if it has been diagnosed as needing replacement.
Part 1 of 3: Determine if Condenser Fan Is Faulty
Necessary materials
- Pressure gauge set
- Owner's manual
Step 1: Check Condenser Fan Operation . Start the engine and check under the hood.
Locate the fan sets. One will be for the radiator and the other for the condenser. In some cases, you may need to consult your owner's manual to differentiate them.
With AC on, the condenser fan should be on when the vehicle is idling. If the fan is not turned on, it may need to be replaced.
Step 2: Check Fan Relay . If the condenser fan relay does not turn, it may not be receiving power.
This could be due to the fan relay. Check the substation relay box. There are two options: test the relay and verify that it is working properly or replace the relay with a known working relay and see if the fan turns on.
If the fan now turns on, the relay will need to be replaced.
Step 3: Check the AC system pressures . The gauge assembly will need to be connected to the vehicle.
The blue hose will be installed in the low side port. The high side will be installed in the high pressure port.
The readings found will be compared to the graph for reference. These are general readings listed on the chart; consult the owner's manual for your specific vehicle. If the high and low side pressures are not within spec for your vehicle, then the AC system may have a fault.
Attention : The pressure inside the AC system can be extremely high and can cause serious injury. If you are unsure how to use a gauge set to check AC pressure, leave it to the professionals.
Part 2 of 3: Removing the Condenser Fan
Necessary materials
- Basic socket set
- eye protector
- condenser fan
- Owner's manual
Step 1: Remove electrical connection . The first step will be to disconnect the electrical connectors found on the condenser fan.
On some vehicles, the fan is connected to the radiator fan assembly and they must be removed together. If this is the case, the radiator fan connector must also be disconnected. Unplug the electrical connector and move to a safe location.
Step 2: Remove the mounting screws . At this point, all that's in the way of removing the fan should be the mounting screws.
If any other parts are preventing removal of the fan, this must be done before the mounting screws are removed. How much is removed depends on the make and model; consult the owner's manual for your specific vehicle.
Remove the top and bottom mounting screws, if equipped. Carefully slide the fan assembly up and out of the vehicle now.
Step 3: Install the new condenser fan assembly . With the condenser fan assembly removed, now is the time to replace any parts that can be reused.
After the reused parts are replaced, the fan assembly will be installed on the reverse of removal. Gently slide the assembly down into its mounting location being careful not to break the fan assembly or damage the radiator.
Once the mount is in place, the mounting screws can be installed and tightened to specification.
Step 4: Connecting the electrical connection . Once the condenser fan is installed and in its final location, the previously removed electrical connector will need to be installed.
Connect the electrical connection to any fan removed and make sure the connector is properly seated.
Part 3 of 3: Checking the Condenser Fan for Proper Operation
Step 1: Make sure the fan is turned on . After all repairs have been completed and the work examined, it is now time to test the fan again.
Start the vehicle and turn the AC on to the coldest setting. The condenser fan should now be on. If the fan assembly does not turn on, inspect the work performed and make sure there are no loose connections.
The fan assembly must connect with AC when the engine is idling. If not, further diagnosis may be needed.
Replacing the condenser fan assembly can be an easy task to restore the ac system to proper functioning. If the condenser fan assembly is left unattended for too long, it can even cause the vehicle to overheat. Taking care of this issue will not only provide comfort while driving, it will also keep the vehicle in proper working condition. Be sure to have an inspection performed if you notice your car popping up while the AC is on.
