P1000 Cooling fan?

[P1K5Dave]

I did a thread on my fan failing and the SPAL replacement. Not exactly a how-to thread but there are some tips on installation in there.

P1000 - Fan Fail

Here's one I haven't read about around these parts... Last week I was hearing noise around the radiator fan, when it was running it sounded like there was a small twig or something in there hitting the fan blades. As you know, it's not the most accessible area on the Pioneer. At home one...

Welcome to the forum...... Check the wire plug ins. One of the temp workers has been bending over prongs all year. Do a search around here...it's not just you.

My 700 had the same problem bent pin on fan plug.

There is no way that the fan is supposed to push. I was a HONDA tech for 25 years, never saw such a setup on any HONDA water cooled unit. I am not saying that yours does not push, just that it should not push air forward. My 2016 pulls air. You are correct, a push fan would absolutely not work and would cause overheating. The 2021 and the 2016 use the same parts (part numbers are identical), so that is definitely not supposed to be a pusher fan. The fan blade (and motor, of course) is supposed to turn clockwise when viewed from the front, if my memory serves me correctly. How about posting a picture of that fan. I'm thinking that the blade is installed backwards. Definately should not be a pusher fan

I think I still have the fan. I look when I get home to check. How I figured it out was when I hit water all the steam would blow out of the front of the radiator. Now with the spal fan it blows out the wheel wells.

If you are replacing with OEM, need to look into the 2022 upgraded fan.

I never doubted that your fan was pushing air out the front, just saying that it should not do that. If you get the chance, post that picture of the fan. If it is wired backwards or the fan is on backwards, I wonder how many others are having the same issue? Did the fan pulling air in the right direction fix your cooling problem?
