• Q: How to replace the radiator fan on 2006 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: The electric Radiator fan replacement process starts by taking out the air cleaner and duct assembly followed by disconnecting the Radiator fan harness electrical connector. Obtain access to the right side diagonal brace before you loosen the engine mount strut nuts and disassemble the engine mount strut bracket brace bolts at the upper Radiator support while rotating struts in a rearward direction. First disconnect the upper Radiator Hose and then proceed to remove both Radiator upper mount bolts and upper mounts. Disconnect the Radiator Fan Shroud bolts while moving the Radiator clamp on the coolant overflow hose with hose clamp pliers (J38185) followed by disconnecting and repositioning the overflow hose and releasing the upper toc line from the Radiator. The vehicle should be raised up before disconnecting toc lines from the fan module retainer clip and then lowering the vehicle down. First disconnect the engine harness retainers at the engine harness bracket before repositioning the engine wiring harness and removing Radiator fans together with the Radiator Fan Shroud. Begin installation by fitting the Radiator fans with their Radiator Fan Shroud and afterward reposition the engine wiring harness before securing its retainers to the engine harness bracket. Return the vehicle to the floor while securing both fan module retainer clip connections of the toc lines. Re-mobilize the vehicle then establish the upper toc line to the Radiator. Fasten the Radiator Fan Shroud bolts to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.) and after that install the Radiator upper mounts and their respective upper mount bolts with 10 nm (88 inch lbs.) torque setting. After attaching the Radiator with the coolant overflow hose you must use hose clamp pliers (J38185) to adjust the clamp position before installing the upper Radiator Hose. First position the engine mount struts brackets against the upper Radiator support, then install its mount strut bracket brace bolts to this location while tightening them to 28 nm (21 ft. Lbs.). Next secure the engine mount strut nuts to 48 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). Conclusion steps include fitting the right side diagonal brace together with reconnecting the Radiator fan harness electrical connector until the air cleaner and duct assembly can be reinstalled.
