What the dealer said about my overheating, Help?

Dealer hooked up their starscan tool to the sled. They can control the fans manually from that. FANS WEREN'T COMING ON, AT ALL. This is on my BRAND NEW fan assembly I purchased from Go-part.com. Dealer said the wires all looked fine, had power and ground, so all was good there. But when fans were triggered to come on from their starscan tool, nothing, nada, zip......
Dealership isn't going to charge me anything (I guess breakfast paid off, lol) But this really pisses me off. That fan assembly has less than 200 miles on it. I'm gonna call that website now.....is it possible this brand new unit is faulty???

 

Anything is possible, but unlikely...did they change/check the relays?
If your getting juice to the fan motor and the motor isn't coming on, then you know it's the motor and not the relay, if not, then it's the relay...look the fan blade itself over...the outer shroud is prone to breaking upon install...I killed 2 new motors because i had a fine crack in the fan blade shroud and when the fan would kick on, and centrifugal force would open up the crack causing the shroud to bind against the blade shroud and burn up the motor...

 

Yup. Have juice to the fan motors. Service writer said "we have power and ground, but fans aren't coming on." Talking with Go-Part.com right now.....

 

damn Chase... Hopefully Go-Part warrantees the fan assembly?

I am fully on Kyle's boat on this one...

 

I hope so too Ron, waiting to hear back from the Manager now.....

 

kick 'em in the nuts chase

 

^^^LMAO!!! I'm about to bro. Never heard back today. Callin again in the morning!

 

Dang Chase...you still having cooling problems....get after those buttholes..:miner:

 

wow chase..... i have had nothing but good luck with my fan assembly i got from them!!! i sure hope they step up and replace the kit!!!

 

i'm thinking the blade shroud may have been damaged on install...I did that myself.

 

Headed to pick her up in a few hours. Still haven't heard from Go-Part.

 

If you have time today, pull the assembly and check your blade shroud. FYI, the nut that holds the fan blade to the motor is left hand thread.

 

ok chase........ my dear car must be having some sympathy feelings for yours........ twins seperated maybe???? this morning on the way to work i stopped by the local store for a drink and left the car running as usual (i know, not a good idea)....

jumped back in after maybe a minute and looked up at the dash daq and see208?!?!?!!? car has not seen those temps since my new t-stat went in!!! drove a little and temps creep up to 214....... then suddenly free fall bakc to 180 in just about 15 seconds!! i truly can't tell if my fans are running from inside the car anymore because of the whine of the blower....... i just hope this was an isloated issue!!!!

 

Whew! you can sit back and relax a bit now Chase. Just ping here once or twice a day "Chris, have you fixed it yet?"

 

bwahahahahahahahahahaha

 

you know dave........ at least i can fix it and not just find the diagram to show me how......:ronlove:

 

:rofl2: Chris, Dave can't respond now, he's changing his water filters.

 

If you had read the diagrams you wouldn't have broken it.

 

Not his fault, Dave. The print was in red lettering... DOH!

 

Car overheated on the way home again.... She's in the garage now, though. Go-Part is shipping me a brand new fan assembly (free of charge). Should be here by Tuesday. On Wednesday, she'll go to Morgan Performance Fabrication for the swap out. I've communicated the "issues" you brought up Kyle, to Walker. He's going to be EXTRA careful installing this time. We'll inspect old fans upon removal. I really hope this is the end of it all......I haven't enjoyed my car for over 4 months now......
