2013 kia soul radiator coolant fan replacement tips.

I changed my coolant fan and had to manhandle it to get it out, but there is a much easier, and safer way, my video shows you how. Thanks for watching, and i hope it helps.

Hey bro, go through the bottom. 1.) Disconnect the upper radiator hose junction (3x 10mm head) 2.) Disconnect plug from car to resistor in (helps to have a long screwdriver to push while pinching, if melted, fix that first) 3.) Disconnect burp tank 4.) Pop transmission lines off of fan housing 5.) Lift front of car (the further the better) 6.) Take 2 drivers side front skid plate bolts out (10mm head) 7.) Slide fan assembly off of bottom alignment clips 8.) Rock and rotate clockwise while moving trans lines out of the way. 9.) It'll get tight a couple times but should pop right out of the bottom, burp tank last. 10.) Reinstall, and drink beer. I couldn't find a video either, this way took me 40 or so minutes. This one ate the resistor, so I put in a new one, then turned slow, (to the untrained eye it seems like a normal, low-speed), then it popped the fuse, so I went whole-hog. I also got some alligator clips and grounded the furthest up (only green on connector) then juiced the opposite side and compared speed. You'll only need to tap the other alligator clip, don't clamp both. We set both on the engine and fed them power to compare speeds. The old one would spin slow and hardly freewheel, the other took off and freewheeled. Not a huge difference side by side, but enough to ruin someone's day.

now you sir are MVP. thank you. i love checking the comments lol. took me like 20 mins

[@lakerssuk]

Thank you. When I did this, there were literally no videos on it, so I knew there was probably a better way, I just didnt know. One of the best cars I've ever had, and I've had many.

These instructions were money!! Thanks to both of you!

Thank you so much for sharing! I need to change out my 2011 fan. Thank God for youtube!

[@TheMichaelharmon]

Sir this video literally saved my ass. Thank you so much.

2012 will not come out the top without removing the intake. Comes out the bottom without much struggle. Took 2 hours since I thought it would come out the top. No more overheating while idling!

Good video, answered all the questions I needed to know.. 👍👍💯

[@lakerssuk]

Thank you

[@christopherruble8391]

Thank you for this information. Checked my fuses and relays ( jumped relays no help). With A/C on fan should work. Turned fan blades quickly by hand with key in start position ( engine off ). Fan started but very slow. I will change fan assy. ($95.00 local ).

I did it last night on a 2018 Soul , took off the intake manifold. Not too bad a job. The lower radiatator support and the AC compressor blocked taking it out from the bottom.

Thank you about to do this this weekend

[@marinaordonez8753]

But how did you pull it out? Mine gets stuck

[@lakerssuk]

@@marinaordonez8753 I had to remove all those things and work it out carefully. BUT someone in the comments mentioned that they pulled it out from the bottom.

@@HeydaCarreras I'm sorry if this wasnt helpful, I'm sure there are plenty of other videos that will show you how to unscrew a screw.
