Ever since I had my AC converted to the new R34, my fan stays on everytime I have the AC on. Today while driving, my temperature shot up to red. I turned on my AC and noted the fan not working. I pulled on the wire harness connected to the fan motor and the fan turned on. I drove back home and inspected the wire harness. I discovered that the connector to the fan motor had melted a bit. I pulled it off the fan motor and cleaned out the connector and reconnected it. The fan now works fine for now. My question is....is that a sign that my motor is burning out, or is there another problem that the connector almost melted out.

 

Sounds like it could be one of two things going on; either your cooling fan motor is pulling too much amperage (signalling a motor going bad) or the electrical connector has high resistance (dirty, broken wires, etc). Run the cooling fan for a while and then shut the car off and unplug the connector and see if it is still getting hot. Sounds like it might have just been dirty.

 

Thanks for the tip...I'll try it out.
