Applies To:

Condenser Fan Motor Inoperative
(Supersedes 98-028, dated April 14, 1998)
SYMPTOM
The No.56 (20A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box is blown, the condenser fan does not work, or the A/C performs poorly.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The slope angle of the condenser fan shroud allows water to puddle at the bottom of the shroud. During the winter months the standing water freezes,
causing the condenser fan motor to stall.
