Since the Chrysler Town & Country minivan debuted, many people have turned to it as a driving pleasure for families and individuals. Installing an engine fan in the radiator can also be a pleasure as it allows you to understand how your Town & Country's engine and fan function. Examine the quality of your engine fan before starting work on your 2004 or newer Chrysler model.
Lift the Town & Country's hood to gain access to the engine. Insert a siphoning hose into the engine cooling system and empty the contents into a coolant container. Remove the radiator outlet hose from the radiator top. Take off the air cleaner assembly, the air intake resonator and the fan motor electrical connectors from the front of the fan.
Loosen the coolant-recovery system mounting screw from the radiator top with a chain wrench. Take off the upper radiator mounts and remove the upper portion of the radiator. Use a screwdriver to loosen the cooling fan mounting screws.
Unplug the trans axle oil cooler line on the lower left side of the radiator. With the chain wrench, loosen the radiator mounting bolts located on the sides of the engine fan. Remove the fan and place it on a flat wooden surface for support.
Inspect the old engine fan for damage before proceeding. Place the new engine fan into the radiator. Use the chain wrench to reconnect the radiator mounting bolts on each side of the engine fan to hold it in place.
Plug back in the trans axle oil-cooler line to the lower left side of the radiator. Tighten the cooling fan mounting screws with the screwdriver. Reattach the upper portion of the radiator and put in the upper radiator mounts. Return the radiator outlet hose to the top of the radiator.
Tighten the coolant-recovery system mounting screw on the radiator top with the chain wrench. Reapply the air-cleaner assembly, the air-intake resonator and the fan-motor electrical connectors to the fan's front. Insert the siphoning hose into the engine cooling system and empty the coolant container's contents back into it.
Check for loose wires before getting in and starting the engine. Let the car idle for a few minutes with the hood up to see how the engine is running. When you confirm that everything works, close the hood and take your Town & Country for a test drive.
