Replacement of radiator fan on Ford KA

Radiator Fan Assembly Replacement Part 2 (Ford KA – 2006 Model)
This video covers installation of a new replacement fan assembly replacing the faulty fan that was taken off.
This is a follow up video to help you replace a faulty Radiator Fan Assembly on a Ford KA due to damage from leaks or wear and tear. Note that the fan should only be replaced by removal of the radiator and NOT as in the previous video.

The fan assembly is obsolete and cannot be supplied by Ford but is available elsewhere, for your information only the original part number is 1467010.
The cooling system, which includes the radiator fan failed to operate even after the replacement of the complete thermostat housing with temperature sensor to eliminate all leaks, temperature sensing or circulation issues, the fan should have worked after 15-20 minutes running of the engine, but it didn't. It now looks like the fan motor has gone faulty (checked first that F21 cooling fan fuse is fine), so it did require replacement. The installation of the new fan assembly will be covered in this video after seeking advice from a trusted garage mechanic.
The fan purchased in Part 1 was for a car with air conditioning and a condenser in front of the radiator which must also be cooled, hence the fan has more blades and a more powerful motor. The original fan has 4 blades with a 70 Watt (power) DC motor while the new fan was 330 Watt DC motor and 6 blades!
The air conditioning system, like a fridge consists of evaporator for cooling the car cabin by removing the heat, expansion valve, compressor (engine driven), condenser in front of the radiator and drier. We have none of these components. Therefore the new fan was returned to the supplier for credit and another fan for cars without air conditioning was ordered.
If you wanted you could get access to the plug from under the car by jacking up the car and checking the voltage or testing the fan with a 12 volt (battery charger) power supply. As this would have involved jacking up the car it was discounted as most likely the fan would be at fault due to the age of the car, continuously working in a hot and wet environment and the water with antifreeze (corrosive) leak.

Note that the two pipes at the front underneath the radiator are not for the brakes as previously mentioned but the pipes for cooling the power steering fluid.
As these pipes we saw are part of the power assisted steering cooler, so need to be fitted back properly.
Should you suspect you have a thermostat problem (overheating due to no circulation through the radiator) or housing leak causing overheating then you should fix this first, please refer to the other video Replacement of thermostat housing click on link below.
