• Q: How to replace the radiator fan and fan shroud with PWM on 2008 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The replacement process for pwm starts by ensuring safety through keeping hands along with clothing and tools away from underhood electric fans which can begin operation at any time the engine stops. The off or lock position of ignition together with the negative battery cable disconnect prevents electrical sparks from forming. The first step should focus on removing the radiator support. The engine wiring harness needs disconnecting from the Radiator fan shroud followed by disconnecting the surge tank outlet hose from its retaining clips on the shroud. First lift the vehicle and support it. You must then disconnect the stabilizer shaft. Detach both the Radiator fan's electrical connector from the radiator as well as the lower transmission oil cooler line from the same location. First detach the Radiator fan shroud retaining bolts before extracting the Radiator fan together with the shroud unit. To install the components arrange the Radiator fan and shroud properly on the radiator before securing the device with retaining bolts tightened to 5 n.m (44 lb in). Next install the stabilizer shaft before reattaching the lower transmission oil cooler line together with the Radiator fan electrical connector. Reinstall the radiator support after you reconnect the surge tank outlet hose both at the Radiator fan shroud retaining clips and at the engine wiring harness on the shroud.
