* Single Speed Fan: Many 1998 Grand Caravans used a single-speed electric radiator fan. This fan runs at one speed when the engine coolant temperature gets too high.
* Dual Speed Fan: Some models, particularly those with higher-output engines or specific options, may have had a dual-speed electric radiator fan. This fan has a low and a high speed, allowing for more precise temperature control.
To know for sure which type of fan *your* 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan has, you'll need to:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the best place to find out the specifications for your specific vehicle.
2. Look at the fan itself: Open the hood and examine the radiator fan. A single-speed fan will have a single motor, while a dual-speed fan will have a more complex motor assembly.
3. Check your vehicle's VIN: You can use the VIN to look up the exact specifications of your vehicle online through various parts websites or your local Dodge dealership.
Once you know if it's a single or dual-speed fan, you can then easily find replacement parts online or at an auto parts store. Be sure to provide the correct information (single/dual speed, year, make, model, and engine) when ordering a replacement.
