bac2010 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 I have a 2011 Ford Edge with a 3.5 engine and the radiator fans are constantly running. Temp gauge is OK. I had to disconnect the battery to get them to stop. I have seen a few posts but nothing definitive for a resolution (they rarely come back and let you know the answer). From what I have seen it could be several things with the worst being the coolant sensor (not easy to get to) to something as simple as a relay. I'll have an appointment with the Ford dealer but it is mid-October probably due to the virus and things taking longer. Any ideas that I could look into myself while waiting? Thanks.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Put in a new Motorcraft radiator fan assembly. Problem solved. If you have it shipped to you, you may receive it with support brackets or module damaged. Best is local pickup from a dealer that does discounted online sales.

bac2010 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Thanks for the info. I kind of gathered that a new fan assembly probably would be the resolution. I could possibly get away with just the control module (I believe a new one comes with the fan assembly). The relays and sensor seemed to be too remote of an issue to cause this problem. Only about 125K on the 2011 Edge. I bought it 10 years ago this month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 well, happy anniversary! the edge apparently wanted to be noticed, lol. ? Whatever you do, make sure the connections to the module are nice and tight. If they are not, at best, the fans won't run correctly, at worst, the module can get fried.
