Hello everyone...!

Glad I do't have a 2002......The complication of a hydraulic drive cooling fan is unimaginable to me. What nut in ford engineering approved this???
Anyway, you didn't say(in so many words) that this component failed. These cars can overheat if for whatever reason there is an air lock in the cooling system. If so, that doesn't cost anything to fix, just time.
Shop manual tells how to bleed, or there are a few write-ups in the tech section.

Hydraulic cooling fan systems have been used in millions of vehicles over many years. It wasn't just installed in the 2002 Thunderbirds.
