LINCOLN LS Hydraulic fan or pump help. 8/11/15



I have had many problems with the car and most of them have been able to be resolved. ive come to the issue with the hydraulic pump and my fan just spinning on low speed. we can stop it with our hands. we took the reservoir off and cleaned it out, spun the fan and pushed fluid out. the smaller side seems to be taking fluid down slow. we unplugged the actuator and still had no change in fan speed. I figured if we unplugged the actuator, the fan speed would decrease. it only start to overheat we have the ac on. it will go back to normal when the ac is off. the fan did use to run on high speed but now it just runs on the lowest speed. we can turn the fan pretty easily. im not sure if I should try to fix the actuator because the pump is 500 dollars, or just convert to electric. im hoping Joegr will help me because I can send him a private message right now.

thanks

Usually, with this symptom, it is the actuator (no guarantees though). Electric conversion has its own set of problems to overcome. I think it's better if you can repair the hydraulic fan.

If you live In new York you can come by and pull the whole assembly from my parts 00' v8. I'll let you take the whole thing for $100.
