Highlander Overheating Electric Fan Connection

Overheating can be serious, so it's good you're addressing it quickly. An electric fan not operating correctly is a common cause. Have you inspected the cable and plug connection for any visible damage, corrosion, or loose connections? Sometimes, a simple visual inspection can reveal the problem. By cable and plug connection, I mean the electrical connection that provides power to the fan motor.

Thanks! I did a quick look, but honestly, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Where exactly is the plug connection for the electric fan? Is it easy to get to? I'm afraid of breaking something else if I start poking around too much.

Given your description and concern about causing further issues, it's advisable to have a qualified mechanic inspect the electric fan and its connections. Continuing to drive the vehicle while it's overheating can lead to more extensive and costly engine damage. The impaired electric fan is likely caused by a defective cable or plug connection of the component.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I took it to a workshop, and you were right, it was a bad connection! They fixed the cable for 95€. Overheating is gone!
