How to Replace the Fan in a Ford Mustang

Disconnect the negative battery cable and isolate it with some non-conductive material, such as a clean glove or rag, to ensure that it will not accidentally slip into contact with the battery terminal.

Unclip your Mustang's fan wiring harness and unplug it from the fan motor connector.

Use your wrench to remove the four bolts holding the fan and shroud assembly mounting bracket. Remove the entire assembly from the car.

Remove the retaining clip from the end of the motor shaft and the fan blades.

Loosen the nuts attaching the fan motor to the mounting bracket. Remove the nuts and the fan motor.

Install the new fan motor onto the mounting bracket, and then tighten the four nuts to hold it in place.

Attach the retaining clip to the end of the motor shaft and reinstall the fan blade.

Reinstall the mounting bracket, fan and motor assembly in your vehicle and tighten the four bolts to hold it in place.

Plug the fan wiring harness back into the fan motor connector, and clip the wiring harness back into place.

Reconnect the negative battery cable.
