I have a 2011 hyundai elantra that we have changed the radiator cooling fan 2 times already and the fuse strip that contains the 40 amp CF fuse. with two different hyundai repair shops now and it has gone out again. We bought this car in 2011 it's not even been 2 full years yet. But since we commute with this car it has 60,000 miles on it and the shop won't warranty it this time. Why does the hyundai keep burning up CF's and the fuse link? I finally took a look at it myself for my wife. I don't see any thermal protection on the fan motor and it appears the stator inside has shorted like the last and blew the 40a fuse again in the fuse strip that costs like 9 bucks plus i need coolant, the fan assembly and the time to repair it for my wife. I'm getting sick of it. If i have to do this repair myself i'll use a modified fan motor assembly is there anything that i can replace it with so it stops shorting out? I need recommendations

Were the fan motors OEM or aftermarket?

Somebody is going to have to do some troubleshooting to include measuring the current draw to see what is overloading that circuit.

I talked with the tech he just said they are not paid for ask questions just fix the problem. He said he has changed over 40 of these fan motors out in June he said probably more he thinks the motor design (oem) is not designed for the heat it is encountering.
What I don't understand is why the stator is shorting? Poor lacquer and bonding to the core from the coils? Why is there no thermal, overload protection on the motor itself like 99% of good quality motors. This seems like a crappy flaw. I talked with my friend from Napa distribution he said for the 2011 they have sold over 500 of these fan assemblies and the fuse link. If there is that many flawed why isn't it a recall? Hyundai has paid over 1500 dollars now for my car in the two they put on it already that seems pretty expensive to me. I put a current clamp on my friends car and it's only drawing about 4 - 8 amps on high. The fuse is a 40 amp fuse that connects up to . The AC is tied to it as well.

They haven't even trickled down to the independents yet, so looking forward to making money on fan module replacements.
