Fans not working

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have a 2011 Ford Edge SEL and the engine fans do not come on.

 

i have tested the fans and they are good.

 

I have replaced the FCM and still nothing.

 

There is power going into the FCM.

 

Put a scope on the control signal and I see nothing.

 

Where does the signal come from and any ideas why it would not be active?

 

One would have thought that a missing control signal would result in the fans going to full speed.......

Found the problem by pure luck.

 

When I scoped the signal there was nothing so today, I figure it possibly needed to be connected to the FCM to have it pulled up.

 

When I pulled the cable to get it off of the FCM, the control wire came apart about 1/2" from the connector.

 

Scoped the end of the cable and there was something so I soldered in an extension piece and Voila. Fixed!

 

Possibly a vibration point on the cable?
