How Often Do Fan Clutches Fail?

[Chim55117]

Just like the title states, I am wondering if a bad fan clutch could be causing my fan to turn on and off intermittently. The wiring is correct. If it is the fan clutch, where can I buy a replacement? On the VR-4, where is the fan clutch located? Anyone have a picture? Thanks!

Its an electric motor. On or off. Not a fan clutch.

You would want to check the temp switch, the fan relay, and the fan low-speed resistor instead, I'd think.

As mentioned our fans are electric (woogy woogy woogy) so they don't have a clutch. They do, however, cycle on and off depending on the temp of the coolant.

Are you overheating or just wondering about the fan cycles?

Its suppose to cycle on and off.
