The fan was stuck on. Between what ive read here and google ive test different things.
Prognosis: fan won't stop running.
Diagnosis: solenoid has air coming in but not out.
Maintenance: remove part beat the heck out of it spray it with air hose. Repeat about 5 or 6 times.
Results: what I'm assuming to be rust dust every where. Even in my coffee. No noticeable physical difference.
Final step: replace same solenoid on truck. Prior to testing, see if fan spins freely. With restance it does.
Final test. The fan all but stops spinning, I can hold it still with no restance. Or risk of Injury at this engine tempature. And air is now coming freely from the solenoid. For the first time in a week the truck has idled it self up too running temp.
Question: that very little sticking that is still happening. How do I isolate it.?
I don't want to play part darts. But would like it to be back to normal.
Current temp is almost 180 degrees on dash needle. And the fan is still walking
Fan clutch or solenoid?

You changed selenoid. Does air come out of it? If yes it's not just selenoid. If no air hits the fan clutch, it's supposed to engage. Free spin is normal.
Keepforgettingmypassword Thanks this. -
I just cleaned out the solenoid. I didn't change it. But it's working now and the code is gone.
I don't feel air coming out. But I will soap and water it tommrow with daylight.77fib77 Thanks this. -
Selenoid is like $50? You will burn that much in fuel in a day and half, with the fan running. The fan clutch they are $350 to a $1000 and hard to change.Roger McG and Keepforgettingmypassword Thank this. -
