Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting dimensions before installation. This assembly is plug-in and uses a 2-terminal male blade connection, so confirm the vehicle harness matches the fan connector. Inspect the condenser, shroud area, and electrical circuit for damage or corrosion before replacing the unit. For best results, compare the original fan assembly to the FA70161 before final mounting.
