In the front side of the car near the radiator are two electric fans that come on when the car gets hot to cool it, one on each side of the enormous radiator.
My right hand side fan got clogged with snow/ice/slush the other day and stopped working to the point I smelled it smoking inside of the car. As soon as I smelled it I pulled over and removed the snow. I thought I saw the fan start working again, I could have sworn I did. Now the fan is no longer working and the car is getting close to overheating whenever I drive it.
My questions are:
How hard would this be to change myself?
Is this just a motor that removes off of the fan by a few bolts and a wire plug?
Is there anywhere on the net I can go and look this up myself by car/part etc then order it if I wanted to? The local chevy garage near my house is a total jerk, if I didn't buy the car there they want nothing at all to do with me, service, parts conversation nothing at all. They only want to deal with people who buy new cars there and that's it.
Funny thing is I did buy the car there when it was brand new but they changed owners a couple of times since and they don't even know who they hell I am, how's that for customer service? Next chevy garage is about 75 miles away :(.
I could bring it to my local garage but I'd rather do the work myself if it's possible and not too hard?
Anyone out there know anything about this? It's got the 350 engine in it.
Thanks in advance for the help.
