goslats Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Daughter is in town and complaining about engine overheating while car not moving. I checked the #39 fuse and it is fine. The fuse has 13v coming in. A/C full blast and neither fan comes on. I don't see a relay in the power distribution box under the hood. Suggestions? Thanks Edited April 1, 2017 by goslats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 It's either the fan or the fan controller. You get both as a replacement kit. Fairly simple DIY job. Dormans are cheap and worked for me but others have had issues. Other aftermarket brands are worse. Motorcraft is the best option. www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12731-radiator-fan-assembly-replacement-procedure 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goslats Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I am getting 13v into the controller and 13v out. 2 fans and neither is coming on. Seems one fan would come on and not both at same time. Could it be something besides the fans and controller? If I need to I'll get the kit too akirby, It's about $210 here and the controller itself is nearly that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goslats Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Ok... I see... I have a fully working 2012 Edge here now and only one fan comes on with the A/C turned on High with temp at normal level. Is there a way to isolate and troubleshoot the problem?

akirby Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 No need since the kit comes with both the fans and controller. Even if it didn't you wouldn't want to change only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goslats Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm trying to determine if the problem may come before the fan and controller kit....? I thought there may be a relay that goes to the 'Controller and Fan' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 If one fan is running then the controller is getting power and a signal. I've never heard of a fan failure that wasn't the fan/controller unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just remember that the fans are different between models with & without the factory towing package. Also models with the towing package have 2 relays instead of one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Replace the fans and it will run great again and not over heat. Maybe a 20 minute job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goslats Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Akirby, the 'one fan running' is on the working vehicle......the problem Edge has no fans running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Akirby, the 'one fan running' is on the working vehicle......the problem Edge has no fans running. Sorry about that. You're going to end up replacing the fan/controller. Bite the bullet and follow autom8r's excellent instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goslats Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yep....seems the general consensus is that's where the problem lies. In the controller and fan unit. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goslats Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yep, that was it. I put the new one in today and all is well. The guide said it all and was easy to do. Thanks all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
