He changed out some sort of relay, and the fan still won't turn on. We put direct power to the fan and it does turn on, so we know it's good. We also tested the ECT sensor, and it seems to be good too. Does anyone else have any other ideas? I noticed that you can buy some sort of bypass kit for it so I'm wondering if it's a common problem. Any help would be appreciated.<br /> - Danny <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SVTCOBRAFOREVER</b> <br /><small>Member # 4173</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,7,23,40,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> hehe, shoot, I am having that same problem at the moment <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> . Did you replace the CCRM. That has a relay in it, it is located on the inside passenger side fender well. <br /><br />Did you check the fuse box in the engine bay? It is the 60amp fuse. Also I think the number 18 20amp fuse in the car could be a problem as well. That is the best I can offer on help at the moment. <br /><br />I am still trying to figure out why mine is not working. Kind of leaning on the CCRM failure. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>stangin'</b> <br /><small>Member # 514</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,8,0,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> when i had my '97 cobra i had the opposite experience with the cooling fan. one day while driving the fan kicked on like normal, but after i shut it down, the fan would keep on running. it wouldn't shut off unless i took the cable off the battery. i iwent inside the fender, took out the CCRM to check it out. there wasn't anything i could do so i just tapped it hard a few times and shook it around. i plugged it back in and the fan went back to normal. for my case, i think the relay just got stuck in the on position and after a few taps, it switched back. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>mustangdude24</b> <br /><small>Member # 6581</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,8,0,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Yeah, the CCRM, that's what was replaced.
