Fans and Kits for Acura RL

The cooling fan is a critical part of the engine because your Acura model relies on its radiator cooling fan to maintain a safe operating temperature. A failed cooling fan can mean an overheated vehicle, which can lead to permanent damage. With a wide selection of fans and kits for your auto, you can find what you need to get your Acura RL back to optimal performance.

What types of fans are available?>

The Acura RL has a variety of fans, including the condenser fan, radiator fan, and evaporator fan. Each fan serves a unique cooling purpose for your Acura vehicle.

What are some common cooling fan problems?
  • The fan’s blades can be damaged, preventing it from moving enough air to cool the radiator.
  • The thermostat that signals when the fan should turn on and off can fail.
  • The fan clutch may not be engaging, causing the fan to not run properly.
  • The fuse that powers the cooling fan may be burned out and need replacing.
  • Wires supplying power to the fan may break or become corroded.
What are the symptoms of a malfunctioning cooling fan?
  • Your Acura RL’s engine begins to suffer from higher-than-normal temperatures or overheats occasionally.
  • A failing cooling fan can trigger your check engine light.
  • The performance of your Acura RL’s air conditioning is noticeably worse.
Is the cooling fan or the wiring failing?
  1. Start your Acura RL model and let it reach a normal operating temperature, at which point the cooling fan should turn on.
  2. Using a voltmeter, measure the current between the fan’s power supply and any ground connection available.
  3. If the voltmeter reads 12 volts, power is reaching the fan properly. The problem is not the wiring.
  4. If the voltmeter reads zero volts, then no power is reaching the fan. The problem is likely a broken wire or a blown fuse.
  5. If the voltmeter reads between zero and 12 volts, then only partial power is reaching the fan. The problem is probably a loose connection or faulty wire.
What are some cooling fan installation safety tips?

It’s important to install the cooling fan assembly as provided by the manufacturer. For example, some car owners remove the housing around the fan, but this can cause the fan to perform differently than intended. It was designed to run with the housing around it.

  • Don’t begin before turning off your Acura RL and disconnecting the battery. This will eliminate the risk of electric shock.
  • When you hook up the new cooling fan, make sure the polarity isn’t reversed, as it may cause the fan to turn in the opposite direction intended.
