While I've been swapping out the misbehaving throttle body on my 1999 XJR I'm noticing a few things earlier mechanics have left incorrectly assembled.
One of those is an area that I've found, undone, and repeated as I'd assumed what I'd found was correct (or close enough).
I've had the cooling fan assembly out several times during my ownership for belt changes and idler bearing replacements.
Originally I'd found the wire harness wire tied to the plastic frame for the fan (tied to one of the 3 spokes locating each of the fan motors) which seemed ok but while under the hood recently this solution seems to leave the harness pretty close to the spinning pullies.
I happened to notice several locations where a snap feature has been molded into the fan frame, as if that's where the harness is intedned to be routed.
These are over the top of the lower, left hand fan.
I clipped the wire ties I'd used in the past to see if the harness would sit better there but it doesn't seem to want to be run thru that location.
Has anyone got their fan harness in the known stock location that could confirm how it should be run?
This is not a dire situation as I can repeat the past trasngressions on my old cat since nothing has damaged the harness yet, just wondering and would like to set this (one small) thing right!
