Good news, kind of.
Took the car for a drive after I got home from work today. It still has all power, and didn't smoke at all. I'm crossing my fingers.

if your car has already had the recall performed it will not show up.

usually 8yr/80-100k mile stuff is considered voluntary emmisions recalls--some states even require manufacturers to warranty seat belts for 10 yrs/unlimited miles.

long story short, if you(or previous owner) have had it done, it will not show up.

For the folks whom had the recall done and everything was swapped out (new fan), did they still install that circuit breaker?

If so, the presence of the CB should be a clue. Anyone know the amperage rating of that CB? I think I'll install one (on my own) as a preventative measure.

Yeah removing the fan motor was a nightmare for me. I think I ended up getting a grinder and grinding the shaft off as much as I could then used a hammer and punch to bang it out. The new one sure goes in easy though!

Really.... maybe I'll just go to the J/Y and pick up a Taurus fan.

Does anyone have one? Did it bolt right up?
Thanks
Joe

Damn guys, the "recall" expired...
She said it expired 8 years from the factory date.
*******s.
I guess I'm gonna look for one on ebay or the junkyard.

What dealership did you call? I had my car at C&C Ford on 611 maybe last summer and they were still going to do the recall. Might want to call there.

I just gotta figure out whether a taurus fan is gonna be a direct fit or if I'm going to have to do some fabbing.

Yeah, I don't care where its from, I just gotta be able to bolt it up.
So the explorer, thunderbird, and taurus are all candidates? WHat about the lincoln mark?

Nobody wants to have an SN95 fan

Joe, I doubt it will bolt up at all. You'd have to do a little custom bracketry (with links to get the OEM fan brackets to meet the brackest on your radiator).
I screwed you up there - I thought you had an aftermarket universal radiator (where every fan has to be fabbed up to fit, including the OEM fan).

If you have and are keepin an OEM radiator, I apologize for the suggestion. Fixing your existing fan (or getting another one) is the best bet.

I think I mentioned on the Corral that I'd rather have a Taurus fan, and it's because I have a universal radiator and have to fab any fan I install.

Yup, took the old fan out and slapped a new autozone motor in there. Works perfect.

Thanks everyone, and again, thanks Hissin.

lol, has anyone noticed I panic when there is a problem with my car...I go crazy with the posts haha. Sorry guys, just anxious!

Joe, we all panic when something goes wrong with our cars.

Great to hear that it's up and running again! Nice work and now you're a pro on fan motor swaps.
