Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These items need the cooling air flow -- well, relatively speaking -- from the radiator fan to avoid running too hot.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1st. Sorry the pic is upside down & large. 2nd What is this? I found it while cleaning my car yesterday, it had fallen out of the clip that hold it. It's in place now. My concern is it looks like it is in rough shape, and may stop working soon. There is one on both sides clipped under the bumper. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Cooling fan resistor and it's broken. Check to see for the related fan works when hot. Otherwise you'll need to replace it. I did an aftermarket DIY; here's the link: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-resistor.html

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the tip. I checked, and it works on stage 2 (high) but not stage 1 (low).

POST 4Original post

Yup. It's gotta go.

POST 5Original post

As an aside those need to be properly secured. Often they come loose, or are not secured after someone's been at the front bumper or radiators and they hang down. The word I get is they can get hot when the fans are running and if not secured can hang down and road splash can cause them to prematurely fail. Another no no is to just jam them up in between some plastic. These items need the cooling air flow -- well, relatively speaking -- from the radiator fan to avoid running too hot.

Do you use something other than the factory clips?

They do get pretty hot. They do need airflow.
