How might one test a Gen 2 electric cooling fan (cuz there is only 1, right Joe!!!)? Aside from some higher than anticipated temps (215-220) while in traffic/ in town driving, I don’t hear the fan on when the temps are at that level (with hood open) and it (the fan) seems like it is trying to come on but not quite getting there.
So, is there a way to test the fan? Are fans fixable? IOWs, are there replacement parts or are they “one and done”?
If I replace, is Motorcraft a must? Or aftermarket ok?
Or, there are a couple of Gen 2 V8s at my local LKQ, a used one could be obtained. With all the caveats of using a used part, is this a horrible idea?
I did some forum searching but couldn’t find any insight...
thanks
