Radiator Fan Vibrating / rattling noise with AC

**faith+1** · 05-11-2007, 02:39 PM

Okay so since its getting a lil warm here in AZ Ive finally turned the AC on for this time of year. I know ive used it many times before and there hasnt been any issues in the past for a year and various times ive gone places that has needed AC run.

So I looked at the fan and noticed that I can wiggle it and this "wiggle" is contributing to the noise, I believe. When the fan is making the noise if I push in on the center slightly to stabilize the fan the noise goes away. So I tried to tighten the bolts I could see. There was one near the top of the fan and a few around the center of the fan. The only thing I can think of is there are bolts underneath where I cant easily get to that I may have to take the skid plate / oil pan off to get to it.

Anyone else have this issue. This fan / noise seems to only come on when AC is on, as soon as I shut the ac off, about 1 min later, that fan is off plus the noise goes away.

I was hoping for someone to confirm that its something as easy as tightening bolts on this fan or something else.

Thanks for your help in advance.

found a thread - from the similar threads with a TSB on it.

something rattling

does anyone know if these TSB's mean anything for when you take it to the dealer.. like.. is this considered warranty work?

speaking of fans, the 07's spin backwards, i heard of a recall somewhere on here, and confirmed mine spins backwards today....

sorry to hijack....

yah but just because there is a TSB on it I cant get it done for free right? I should be able to pick up the parts I think at the service department for this issue.. and fix it myself.. I just think the TSB's let you know how to fix known problems that arent recalls.. i was hoping someone can confirm my thoughts.
