The radiator cooling fan assembly is integrated into a plastic frame fixed to the rear of the radiator through snap-fit plastic tabs: to replace it, simply disconnect the power connector, unclip the fastening tab, and remove the complete frame with fans.

Then proceed in reverse for installation.

This is a readily available aftermarket part at relatively low costs; after installing the new set of fans, ensure they activate once the engine operating temperature of 90°C is reached.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
