Re: Electric Fan Motor
 

I already tested the fan & relay, they both are OK. I switched out the
Coolant Temperature Sensor today and still no luck.

Now I am wondering now if it could be the thermostat. I know the CTS is in
the same housing as the thermostat, but is it upstream of the thermostat?

The fan staying on before total failure sure sounds like a relay problem to me.
How did you test it?

If the old fan motor was so worn that it was running slow, it probably smoked
the relay.
