Endeavour cooling grille restricted error

I'm having a weird issue with my 2021 Ford Endeavour diesel. It's got about 68k km on it. I'm getting a 'Cooling grille restricted' error. The temperature gauge seems off, the check engine light is on, and the engine takes forever to warm up. I checked all the coolant levels and visually inspected the radiator for any blockages, but couldn't find anything obvious. Does this model have a fuse for the cooling grille? Anyone seen this before?

That sounds familiar! I've got an Endeavour too, and I had similar symptoms a while back. The wonky temp gauge and the slow warm-up are dead giveaways. It felt like driving a car with a permanent winter coat! Did you check for any blown fuses related to the cooling system? It's worth a look before diving deeper.

I checked the main fuses under the hood, but didn't see anything specifically labeled 'cooling grille'. Do you remember exactly what fuse it was or where it was located?

I hear you. Honestly, I spent hours fiddling with it, and I couldn't pinpoint the exact fuse either. In the end, I caved and took it to a workshop. They diagnosed it pretty quickly. Best to get it sorted before you risk overheating. Cost me around 52€.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to my usual shop, and it turns out it was indeed a defective fuse. They replaced it, cleared the codes, and everything's back to normal now. Really appreciate the help!
