Oldsmobile 22088598 Fan Kit,Electric Cooling

Take the electrical plug away from the motor and use two wires to make a direct connection between the radiator fan and the battery to check for motor failure. If the fan still doesn't work, replace the motor. The cooling system fault comes from three places: the coolant temperature switch, the relay, or the outlet links connecting the parts. Carefully check all wiring and connections. Look for simple trouble spots on your own, then let an authorized service team or repair shop do more detailed detective work. Take off the car's negative battery connection, but remember to cancel the Theftlock audio option before starting. Take apart the air filter and convertor pieces that keep the engine from moving around. Before 2002 models, partially empty the engine coolant and take the top radiator hose off its attachment to the radiator. Use a small screwdriver to lift the small lock tab on the wire connector, then pull the radiator fan wire loose. Take off the fan bolts and take the whole assembly up carefully from the engine bay. Before taking off the radiator fan, remember to unscrew the motor shaft nut. Keep in mind that this nut turns in the opposite direction most nuts do. Look underneath the fan hub for scratch marks that show you which direction to turn the nut to take off the fan. Undo the mounting bolts or nuts to take the radiator fan motor off its bracket. Installation is the reverse of removal.

To remove the fan motor from the bracket, remove the mounting bolts or nuts.
