Even with a voltage drop which I believe would just mean a slower fan speed the ECM would just compensate by running it at a higher percentage? So unless you were sitting on a highway in traffic in high heat you may not have noticed anything.

However once i put hands on any of the jobs take from customers. They are all ways satified. Oh one other thing ..... A quick fix sometimes is as good or if not better than the right way. Find myself in that situation often. however i do warn the client about the temp fix and so on.. Keep up the good work Mech. Pro. Also when u located the problem there was no one to cheer u on. self satifaction! But i shared the joy with u! i know the feeling its as if God came down and touched u on the shoulder.And the moment that fan kicked over! Exciting! My GF doesn't see as exiciting. Up until i told her to take her benz the work shop! LOl!!! Keep at it my friend the Mech Pro Gods are their with you!

Excelent video… I had similar issue twice in my C230. In my case was failure of the fun. Maybe because I live on a hot weather are in which summer 120 degrees is normal I assuming inside the Engine it should way higher makes the fan to fail. I seen at least one video in the net in which one person open the fan ( had to cut enclosure fix it and glue it back) and found cold solder on some capacitors that reflow of the solder fixed. I ask to keep the old fan so when I find time I will open it and double check if that is the case. But 100% correct if the fan don’t work the AC fail to work also. Thank you

jacob USA there are people I've seen out there that think that testing a solenoid is as simple as hearing it click, so I know the type you are referring to. What I can't understand is that with the wealth of ways to teach oneself nowadays that so many choose to use nonsensical methods in order to prove that they know something. I don't even teach a student that says the words "I know " more than once. The best way to learn is to admit that you don't know it all. On a bit of a ramble here ,but point is , take the good testing methods you see and apply them . There are some great guys doing great video like Eric , Ivan , Paul , Triangle, and so many others that each person should have a pen and pad handy at least to write down the titles of their videos and keep it near their toolboxes. I am glad you enjoyed my video and hope you'll like the others to come

Great video Keith and the explanation was clear enough that anyone should be able to follow along of what you are doing. I replied to your comment here because I see the same thing with new people at work that I train as new engineers right out of college. It still amazes me how management believes that someone with a degree is the almighty, supreme high intelligent being who knows all. And some of these guys don't even have any common sense and as you've mentioned, they pretty much know everything anyway. And what's more amazing is that there are some sharp guys on KZbin and the information is there, but people still like to just change parts and couldn't care less of how stuff works. I know it takes a lot of time doing the videos, but it will pay off in the end as I'm sure there's still a lot of folks out there who would like to learn the correct procedure of diagnosing and how systems work. Have a good weekend Keith and don't work too hard.
