I have had 2 fan clutches installed, and the fan still stays engaged a very long time after i start. I got a new one from ford I want to try it out.

Hello,

A faulty fan clutch would keep the fan engaged for extended period of time or may not engage at all.
To remove the fan clutch you will need a special fan clutch tool.
These tools are readily available at your local auto parts stores that you can "rent" to get the job done.

Here is a helpful article of how to change fan clutch:

I have attached the replacement procedure for your vehicle.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
