There is some issues with the C6 fan controler plug- center wire (ground/black) burns up in the plug, and fan quits working.
several of us have had this problem!!

I know i have the procharger but my tb was not resetting to 0 and they said that was covered. If it is not covered i am going to go with a dual fan setup and 160 t stat.
They should be on the passenger side of the radiator if I recall correctly. Its one big one I believe. Its been a while though. If you have hp tuners you should be able to turn your fan on and off at will. Try to turn them on if not youve found your problem.

Thanks bud! I dont have HPtuners but i am sure this is the problem. I can see the fan blade itself and it is not moving what so ever. I will call the dealership and tell them my situation with the procharger. If it is not covered i will go with the dual fan from dewitts. I might as well milk the warranty IF it covers it.

Would this be the one i need if and when i take this route.



"This is an aftermarket add-on, and it is not compatable with the factory wiring or control system."

What would i need to make this work?
