Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / July 2007Fan Clutch
I have a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. I think I need to replace the fan clutch. I think it's also called a viscous coupler. Do you know how to locate this, and how to test it to see if it's functioning? > I have a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. I think I need to replace the fan > clutch.

There is no fan clutch on this vehicle. Is it overheating? Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech > > clutch.

Checked to see if it needed more refridgerant, and that was not the case. I'm thinking it might be the radiator fan or the water pumps, but I'm not sure. And I'm not sure how you would check those. > > > clutch. I think it's also called a viscous coupler. > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > water pumps, but I'm not sure.

The first thing to check is the fans, KEY OFF try to spin them, if they don't turn they are locked up, if they are locked up you can bet the Maxi Fuse has blown as well. If the Fans spin, check Max fuse Glenn |
