This guide will show you how to test and replace the radiator fan assembly or radiator fan motor in the Honda Element. Thankfully, the Element has serviceable fan motors -- meaning that you can remove and replace a fan motor without replacing the entire fan assembly. Note: the left and right fan motors are not the same. However, the left and right assemblies are the same. So if you're replacing the motor only, be sure to grab the correct one -- if you're replacing the entire assembly, there's no need to worry.
