Sorry, missed the part about it being an assembly... been busy this morning LOL. You might be able too mount the above unit, modify , if you will, the above control to your existing fan assembly....
Ed, I would grab one from a yard .View attachment 1638449

Oh dear....upon further review, it does appear there's some manner of sensor in the fan shroud itself.
APOLOGIES to anyone who suggested this might be the issue....
See that little green jobber there? That's it, on the back side of where the wiring harness plugs into
the fan shroud.
Further....it appears it's not available separately from Mopar or anyone else - gotta buy the whole damn
fan/shroud assembly to get it.
Ma is looking like an asshole here on this one...
Upon further review, you're correct sir!I have a feeling the one I posted ,is the same unit you require. Should be a generic piece across the product line.
Brother, if there was a yard within 2 hours of here that was allowed to sell to the public, I would...Ed, I would grab one from a yard .
THe fan works as per your testing but what ever controls it for engine cooling doesn't. Did the engine cool down for you when you turned on the a/c? I am asking questions before reading all the posts. I hope you figured it out before page 2.Not sure what that would do, since I've already established the fan is functioning fine when actually energized?
Him willin', I sure will my friend.Ed, y'all come back now ya hear? We want to know how you make out with this in the end.
Haha, yeah I saw the light eventually - and yes, the fan does recover the engine to normal temps once energized.THe fan works as per your testing but what ever controls it for engine cooling doesn't.

Fan controller? Good you got it diagnosed.Haha, yeah I saw the light eventually - and yes, the fan does recover the engine to normal temps once energized.
Part is on the way, authentic overpriced Mopar and all...
I had no idea they used a doo-hicky inside the fan shroud - which I should have noticed months ago when I replaced
the radiator (chalk it up to the great animosity I had going on fighting that turd of a job, I guess....).
I just assumed they used the temp sensor screwed into the water pump housing.
Assumed...you know the deal when we do that, eh?
Oh Heck, almost forgot - there is a P.S. to all this:
When diagnosing the car and everything got real quiet, I started hearing a faint hiss underhood (my hearing ain't
great, mind) and when traced down, it turns out the radiator cap was relieving just a bit even with the car far from
warmed up - but it wasn't relieving inside but outside!
During a recent trip to the oil changing joint, the attendant must not have gotten it all the way tightened...
so I finished tightening it, only to realize it was still barely hissing by.
Took it off, cleaned everything and...it still hissed, so I replaced it (and refilled the overflow, which was considerably
low).
Yes, the cap was the original...don't jack me up over that, please.
I embarrassingly overheated my Swinger pulling into a car show because of a cap that didn't hold pressure. Puked green all the way down the street. It was a cheap fix though.Haha, yeah I saw the light eventually - and yes, the fan does recover the engine to normal temps once energized.

They got a funny name for it - Mopar calls it the "fan motor wiring harness" - but all the aftermarket makers refer to itFan controller? Good you got it diagnosed.
Been there done that - and with the quality of today's replacement parts, I bet we aren't alone there.I embarrassingly overheated my Swinger pulling into a car show because of a cap that didn't hold pressure. Puked green all the way down the street. It was a cheap fix though.
I did get one like the original from Mega Parts and it worked perfect. Bob at Glen Ray was out of them at the time and he knew Roy and Jamie sold some quality ones.Been there done that - and with the quality of today's replacement parts, I bet we aren't alone there.
BTW, the replacement cost of the high-tech one on the Charger was $7.
Yeah, I'll be replacing that with a factory one first chance I get.
So it was this "quality one" that gave up the puke?I did get one like the original from Mega Parts and it worked perfect. Bob at Glen Ray was out of them at the time and he knew Roy and Jamie sold some quality ones.
An old cap puked. THe new one took care of the problem. It's a superheat thing and the sudden loss of pressure. It was in July, hot and very humid and I was in a parade with the A/C on.So it was this "quality one" that gave up the puke?
Post 19UPDATE:
The new factory Mopar part arrived and I dutifully installed it, tearing up the back of my hand a bit
in doing so (there is next to NO room between fan and engine on these hemi's).
Results? No change - the fan comes on with activation of the A/C circuit, but otherwise is unresponsive.
This leaves little but something going on with the PCM and/or wiring at some point, which means
the dealer gets it now.
*sigh*
