All stock? No accidents or front end work?

Very odd. Get some pics once apart if you can. I am very curious as to the failure mode.
Can't see any sign of blade damage or impact in the video.

Nothing is broken except the center of Blades.
I bought my FRS 2 months ago. it's a car back 3 years. I had air conditioning problems since day 1. I found the non-functional fans because the engine overheated and the check engine has Alume The dealer said it can not be guaranteed because the radiator is not part of the motor. dealer diagnostic = 69$ + 39$ +tx rent car = 20$ per day repair (by dealer) = 500$ + tx I expect a response from Toyota Canada Last edited by jefars; 09-02-2016 at 07:29 AM. |

Pas de probleme
Sorry for no accents I am too lazy to change the keyboard settings and don't know the function keys to get tem. LOL and my spell check now hates me even more than normal.

Ctrl+Shift switches your current keyboard language settings to the next one available, if you have only two, it will switch back and forth, if you have more it will go thru it like a list from top to bottom.

That's spooky ......
I'm guessing that the nut/clip/whatever that holds the fan to the motor shaft came off. But, both at the same time ..... ?? Maybe they were taken off to fix something else and never put back on proper .. ?? Please let us know what was the cause after they are taken off. humfrz |
