Loud as **** fan while accelerating - fan clutch???
Reading through the forums, I've hopefully diagnosed a problem on my car that quite a few people before me seemed to be having. With the A/C on, my radiator fan revs ridiculously loud when I accelerate. Off it's fine...
If I'm guessing right, it's due to a bad fan clutch. I tested my fan by spinning it while the engines of and there's no resistance at all, spins around at least 9 times with a simple push.
Searching around for a 1995 ES300 "fan clutch" at different auto websites & ebay yields no results. Which got me questioning if the ES300 even has a fan clutch (most of the issues I saw regarding this were with SC's & LS's) or I need a more descriptive part name? So, I called the local dealer and they do say they have it. Hmmm...
*** Edit***
Just found http://www.turboninjas.com/camry/gen3_part_list.pdf which lists no reference to fan clutch, but it does contain the "Motor, Hydraulic" (part #: 16960-62010). Would this be the part I'm looking for??
********
Just looking for anyone who may have had a similar issue. Also wanted to make sure I'm not missing any steps in diagnosing before I go and purchase this part.
If no steps are being missed...anyone that has a used fan clutch for a 95 ES, PLEASE! HIT ME UP!
