If anyone can assist in this parts search, I would be very grateful! I've tried to provide full info, so please pardon the length of this post.
Been grappling w/this for about a month in the desert southwest summer heat. Car being serviced by a NAPA certified shop, however, no one can seem to provide my mechanic w/the correct "FCM" (aka 'relay' of sorts). I have spent days searching the Net and all possible part sources, locating only one possibility. His phone calls to Ford entities resulted the claim that the FCM needed "has been discontinued" and they refused to even give my mechanic the OEM part number for us to reference in our continued search.
The FCM that is fried was mfg by Imasen (oriental company), and the identifying number "H271" is no longer applicable; now pertains to a different type of module for totally different model & year of Ford vehicle(s), as well NON-cooling fan purposes . FCM is also marked DC12V10A, followed by 6A 11. It is a "5-blade" (aka prongs - much like the prongs of a household device one plugs into a wall socket, only smaller) , w/the blades arranged in a set of two rows: bottom row has three blades left to right, and top row has one blade each in the left and right corners, with NO prong in the center position.
It is POSSIBLE that the following applies, however, the image on the parts supplier site comes directly from SMP according to the supplier's c-serv person, and I cannot determine from the online image whether the "blade" alignment is correct ->
I have submitted "contact forms" w/the requested info on various parts supply sites, including Standard Motor Products itself and their "distributors" to no avail thus far. I have digital close-up pics of the FCM that we need to replace, but website 'contact forms' have no provision for including those images as an attachment. I have searched through probably 60-70 google search result sites over several days, but the above parts on the autopartsgiant.com site is the only potential successful result. Even then, their c-serv was unable to confirm whether their part RY-452 has the correct blade placement, and directed me to SMP itself.
If at all possible, I would rather locate the actual, new/unused FCM needed instead of dredging one or two up from an auto salvage yard - as the reliability of a salvaged electrical/electronic part on an 11- year old car is likely problematic. When this FCM fails, the radiator cooling fan motor itself of course stops running & the engine quickly overheats. In desert summer heat is a bad thing all the way around and I'd rather not risk melting the motor by having the fan quit in traffic.
If I could even locate or confirm the correct OEM part number - that would be helpful as well!
TIA!
