i posted this same question in the v6 section but got no response so i will give it a try here. does the ccrm control the a/c compressor as well as the electric fan? i recently got my hands on a 96 v6 that we replaced a busted intake manifold gasket on and the electric fan does not seem to want to turn on unless my defrost is turned on or the a/c is on. now the a/c locked up before i got it so we pulled a compressor from the junkyard and as soon as we charged it up a/c worked for about two weeks. so then i had no a/c and bought a remanufactured compressor and worked for a shorter period of time. could the ccrm be causing both problems or just the fan problem?

 

the CCRM is a 4 function relay the provides power for the PCM, A/C clutch, Coolant Fan Mtr and Fuel Pump...so the answer to your question is "yes"....

 

ok, thanks i did not realize it controlled all that. that will be the next thing i replace. thanks for the reply!! this car is the first car i've owned with a complicated relay module, or at least one that has given me any problems. all the other vehicles ive had just had the regular square relays. i went to autozone and told them i needed a electric fan relay and they sold me a 6$ square relay for no reason because when i looked in the owners manual there were no simple relays for that.

 

He aint pretty but he knows his ****. Thats why we keep him around

 

anyone ever taken one of these out? can not seem to get the connector to seperate no matter how i try. tried pulling tried flat head screwdriver and all i have done was crack and damage the plastic around the connector. the little clips up top by the wiring only seem to secure the wires i did not want to pull too hard on the wiring from top and end up damaging the connector.

i thought the connection was where i put the arrow but could not get it loose.
