I've unsuccessfully scoured the web for instructions on how to replace a fan switch on my 2007 SEL, but I don't even know where the damn thing is! My fan has stopped kicking on and after idling for ten minutes (rush-hour standstill) or so my radiator will start to overheat. I've replaced the thermostat, and it has the proper 50/50 mix, so I'm thinking the fan switch has got to be the problem.
Any ideas, pointers, instructions? They would be appreciated!
thanks,
Kyle
Have you run DC voltage to your fan to make sure it isnt the fan? I havent made the jump to the Edge yet, but my Jeep Grand Cherokee had a similar issue and the fan relay was in a very unfortunate place (had to cut a small access hole in the plastic underneath the right headlight assembly since I did not want to pull the front bumper completely off) but after I replaced it finally it seemed to be OK for about a week and then the fan wouldn't come on anymore. Ended up needing a new fan, so it would have been beneficial to troubleshoot the fan first in my experience.
