  Q: How to replace the radiator fan on Buick Rendezvous?

  A:

  The electric Radiator fan replacement process starts by detaching the air cleaner and duct assembly along with the Radiator fan harness electrical connector. You should take out the right side diagonal brace then make the engine mount strut nuts slightly loose. The step includes loosening bracket brace bolts from the upper Radiator support while rotating struts and brackets towards the rear position. Start by taking away the upper Radiator Hose before removing the Radiator upper mount bolts. Next, remove the Radiator upper mounts together with the Radiator Fan Shroud bolts. Use hose clamp pliers (J38185) to relocate the coolant overflow hose clamp positioned at the Radiator and separate the hose from the clamp. The process begins with disconnecting the upper transmission oil cooler line from the Radiator and the transmission oil cooler lines from the fan module retainer clip followed by engine wiring harness retainer separation at engine harness bracket points and engine wiring harness repositioning. End the procedure by uninstalling both Radiator fans from their shroud. The first step for installation includes placing the Radiator fans with the Radiator Fan Shroud followed by repositioning the engine wiring harness. Begin by securing the engine harness retainers at their bracket on the engine harness then proceed with attaching the transmission oil cooler lines to the fan module retaining clip before establishing the upper transmission line to the Radiator. Secure the Radiator Fan Shroud bolts to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.) while you install the Radiator upper mounts including their bolts at 10 nm (88 inch lbs.). Use hose clamp pliers (J38185) to fix the coolant overflow hose properly onto the Radiator. Screw in the upper Radiator Hose and position the engine mount strut brackets next to the upper Radiator support while installing nut bolts through the upper Radiator support with a torque of 28 nm (21 ft. Lbs.). Fasten the engine mount strut nuts to 48 nm using 35 ft. Lbs. Torque setting, while also installing right side diagonal brace, Radiator Fan harness electrical connector, followed by air cleaner and duct assembly.

  Q: How to service and repair a radiator fan on Buick Rendezvous?

  A:

  Start replacing the electric Radiator fan by first taking off the air cleaner along with duct assembly and then unplug the Radiator fan harness electrical connector. You should begin by taking away the right side diagonal brace together with loosening the engine mount strut nuts. Sliding brackets with bolts from the upper Radiator support allows you to rotate both stubs and brackets toward the back. The upper Radiator Hose must come off first together with both Radiator upper mount bolts then disconnect the Radiator upper mount and the Radiator Fan Shroud bolts. Use the hose clamp pliers (J 38185) to reposition the Radiator overflow hose clamp before detached and repositioning the hose and disconnecting the upper toc line running to the Radiator. Lift the vehicle while you detach the toc lines from the retainer clip on the fan module before letting the vehicle drop to the ground. The first step involves disconnecting engine wiring harness retainers which are mounted at the engine harness bracket before the harness wiring is repositioned and Radiator fans must be removed with their associated Radiator Fan Shroud. The first step of installation includes plugging in the Radiator fans to the Radiator Fan Shroud and moving the engine wiring harness to its proper position. First raise the vehicle while connecting the toc lines to the fan module retainer clip then lower the vehicle. After that disconnect the engine wiring harness retainers at the engine harness bracket and position the vehicle for installation. First connect the upper toc line to the Radiator before installing Radiator Fan Shroud bolts that should be tightened to 6 n.m (53 lb in). Afterward install Radiator upper mounts followed by their corresponding bolts which need to be tightened to 10 n.m (88 lb in). Utilize the hose clamp pliers (J 38185) to reposition the hose clamp before final installation of the upper Radiator Hose and the coolant overflow hose onto the Radiator. Begin by placing engine mount struts brackets evenly next to the upper Radiator support before you fasten the engine mount strut bracket brace bolts to 28 n.m (21 lb ft) torque followed by engine mount strut nut tightening to 48 n.m (35 lb ft). The right side diagonal brace and the Radiator fan harness electrical connector together with the air cleaner and duct assembly complete the installation process.
