• Metal/plastic housing for underhood durability
• 1 connector with 2 pins and male terminal design
• Compact dimensions: 2.9 in. length, 1.93 in. width, 2.95 in. height
• No wire harness included
• Gates FCM138 for OE-style cooling fan module replacement

Product Details

The Gates Engine Cooling Fan Module line is built for vehicles that use electronic fan control to manage coolant temperature more precisely than a fixed-speed setup. By varying fan speed as needed, the module helps reduce unnecessary electrical load while supporting consistent engine cooling performance. The Gates FCM138 is listed for 2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2009-2020 Dodge Journey, 2008-2016 Chrysler Town & Country, and 2012-2015 Ram C/V applications with cooling fan resistor or engine cooling fan module configurations. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 921-300 and Mopar 68054677AA for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Cooling fan inoperative or running at the wrong speed
• Engine temperature fluctuations during stop-and-go driving
• Fan control faults related to the cooling fan resistor/module circuit
• Overheating concerns caused by inconsistent electric fan operation
• Reduced cooling system response under load or idle conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, pin count, and housing dimensions before installation. This module uses one male connector with 2 pins and does not include a wire harness. Confirm the vehicle’s cooling fan resistor or engine cooling fan module setup matches the listed fitment before replacing the part. For best results, inspect related wiring, connectors, and the cooling fan assembly for heat damage or corrosion during service.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures the FCM138 as part of its Engine Cooling Fan Module product line for select OE-style applications. The design focuses on precise fan-speed control to support efficient engine cooling and reduced energy loss in vehicles equipped with electric cooling fans.
