Looking for instructions on replacing the cooling fan assembly on my 2006 Saturn Vue (V6). Two different mechanics said that it needs replaced. One stating it draws too much power and the other saying it was sticking. I've had the wire from the 3rd relay and the relay itself replaced (as well as the plug) because I was told they were all bad. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have replaced one fan assembly on those in my long time of working for saturn. On those you have to remove the front bumper skin and tilt the ac condenser and radiator to remove and replace the fan.I will see what I can find on instructions.

There you go I don't remember having to drain the coolant if you have to drain the coolant don't use the radiator drain, I have had several come back leaking from the drain after using the drain. Use the lower radiator hose to drain the radiator.
