Dorman 620-232 Engine Cooling Fan Assembly Compatible with Select Honda Models , Black

Fan gave out on my Honda element, replaced with this aftermarket one. Haven’t had any problems with it.

My previous Dorman fan lasted about 7 years (through hot Texas summers). The OEM Honda before it lasted about 7 years. So I'm going to say Dorman is as good as OEM. It fit well, connected easily. These days I swap out both Engine Cooling and AC fans while I've got things apart and enjoy another 7 trouble-free years.

These fans last 3-5 years in Florida's heat, but are easy enough to swap out and are good value. The factory installed ones last about ten years. This is the second one I've replaced in mine, but it's 20 years old with 300,00 miles and still going. I've put these in 4 different elements for family and neighbors, all fairly high mileage vehicles, so it's a financial decision. Recommend buying a bag of body panel clips and maybe a clip removal tool to make things easier

My daughters 2005 CRV over heating, figured out the fan is broken. Test you fans by taking out the relay (under the hood fuse cluster) and jump the connection with a needle nose pliers. Fan will come on. It was easier to remove the condenser fan, and slide the cooling fan over to the left. This eliminates removing the radiator hose. Up to you, maybe removing the hose is easier to you. 1000 miles and so far, so good. Hope that helps. good luck

Good fit and alignment for the drivers side fan in my 2005 CR-V. Local retailers wanted over $40 more for this fan. The clip for the electrical connector was broken. Had to zip tie it in place. Took about 2 hours to swap out both fans. If you are just doing the drivers side fan, go ahead and replace the passenger side fan while you have it open. The hardest part was removing the top frame where the hood attaches, but it's worth it to get the extra room to work.

If you are looking at this product you probably have already realized how much this repaired would cost if you paid someone. That being said the price is amazing. I don't know about reliability as I just installed it. Now it appears someone had already replaced this cooling fan with an after market fan and it looks very similar to the one I have so lets say it lasted at least 4 years. The packaging was amazing.. wow. I installed it in my 2004 Honda Element and used YouTube for help. I found it very simple so don't be worried, once you see that there is not much too it you will laugh in the dealers face when he tells you how much he wants to do the job. I did manage to do the job with a few less steps, so make sure you watch multiple videos. I will be putting my video up of the swap as soon as I find time. If you have any question let me know and I will update reliability if need be.

Fits a 2002 CRV just like the original part (2002-2006 are the same car). Exact match to original.Someone reviewed that it does not fit a 2005, they are essentially the same car and it will fit. The issue he had is that there are 2 fans. One is a radiator fan, the other is the condenser fan (for A/C). They look very similar.The easiest way to tell is by counting the number of blades on the fan. 5 blade is radiator fan. 7 blades is condenser fan.Once you have that determined and purchase the right one it installs fairly easily. Like most parts on cars now the bolts are 10mm. and depending on you radiator setup you may need to remove the upper hose. There is no reason to drain all the coolant, just enough to get that hose off. Or just remove it and you will get some coolant on your hands.WORD OF ADVISE: The hardware are exposed to a lot of heat and water over their life, they will be rusted. Spray some penetrate oil a day before and you will have a much easier job. I recommend using Aerokroil penetrate oil, it is expensive but you only need a few drops (seriously) and wait a few minutes (up to an hour for those stubborn bolts).

Easy to install..so much better than ford escape..which I had to remove half of the front end to install..been 2 years still going knock on wood.
