I have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica AWD. I am getting a MIL illuminated showing A DTC P0480 (Cooling Fan Relay 1 Control Circuit).
Our vehicle has 2 radiator fans and the wife was complaining of the AC not cooling. I checked engine coolant and listened for undesired noise under the hood, everything seemed ok. Next I checked the fan relay fuse and found it blown, replaced the blown fuse and observed the new fuse changing the solder balls from shiny to dull. I shut the car down before the new fuse completed blowing and verified it is still has continuity with my VOM.
After seeing the new fuse want to blow I reached down to spin the fan blades (we have two fans) and found the fan blades on the passenger side detached from the fan motor. The blades appeared to be intact but could not be inspected completely without first removing the shroud and other parts.
Chrysler’s factory repair manuals say the entire fan assembly must be replaced when there is a bad fan. One of my two fans should be working and the one with the detached blades may be able to have the blades reconnected. If I can not reconnect the blades is there a way to replace only the defective fan? The original factory repair manuals only show the assembly in one piece, I am not certain there is a way or place for a new fan with blades to mount in the original factory fan assembly.
Anyone ever worked on this area of a pacifica? Can a single fan and blades be replaced or is it essential the entire two fan assembly be replaced?
