Well I just bought a 96 GTS this weekend. Anyway, sometime during the drive from Florida the radiator fan went out. Come to find out the positive wire fried in two and stopped the fan from getting power. The fan still runs when power is supplied but the wire fried up into the connector piece so there is no room to put a splice in.
Is it even possible to rebuild those simple plug type electrical connectors found in most wiring harnesses? I'm going to the dodge dealer tomorrow but I'm NOT going to buy a new fan because of one wire gone bad.
Is this a quick fix like I'm thinking, or should I be looking out for a more serious problem within the electrical system?
My fan is centered and it was held in by 3 bolts in the top and 2 in the bottom. I don't know if that is stock for a 96 or not. If not, could the non-stock setup be causing a power surge of some sort? No fuses were blown that I know of.
If all else fails, does someone have a junk Gen II radiator fan that they would be willing to cut the wires off for me? Of course I would pay.
