Bought the cobra last july. Owned it 3 days approx 26,500 miles the factory electric fan locks up and car overheats. It blew the 50A fuse, fan blade ended up cracked. I believe this was the factory fan, as the previous owner said he never replaced it and he owned it from 5500 miles.


I price a ford fan and about schit my pants....completely broke from purchasing the car, I find Autozone sells Dorman fans with lifetime warrenty. I find that 179 is a little cheaper than 450. so I buy the cheapo fan.



Now fast forward to today. 4200 miles later...car starts to over heat, I pull off and shut if off, it bubbles over a little just like last time....Same scenario....Fan locked up, pop'd fuse and broke fan blade.




I've read on SVT, that some of the guys have problems at the 30K mark with the factory fans...others...not so much.


Anyone have any suggestions? I'm returning this hunk of schit and gettting my money back and thinking about either an aftermarket fan setup of going with a OEM FORD fan. I just don't want to replace them every 30K miles. Why am I having so many problems?
