Overheating KIA? Cooling Fan Module Fix (Optima, Sorento, Sonata & Santa Fe)

The Cooling Fan Resistor (Cooling Fan Control Module) can fail in the 2011-2013 KIA Optima, Sorento, 2010-2013 Hyundai Sonata & Santa Fe. Links to parts I used below:

Cooling Fan Resistor for cars made overseas: https://amzn.to/2ZuG4ek
1/4″ Drive Socket & Ratchet Set https://amzn.to/2LKKE0P

If the connector is burned here is a replacement for cars made overseas (rectangle shape): https://amzn.to/2RkFife

2017 Kia Optima overheating. Replaced the fan. Noted the coolant in the reservoir was fine but in the radiator it was low. Added coolant to the radiator. Started the car. Eventually tempurature rose to the middle of the band. Stayed there half an hour. Figure it's fixed. No. After giving it back to my friend he says it overheated again. I am thinking the thermostat and radiator are fine as after cold start it eventually heats up and stays in the middle of the band. But later it'll over heat. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks for this video. My cooling/radiator fan on my 2015 Kia Optima SXL Turbo had stopped working. Figured that out when my engine began over heating. Your video was the only one that helped me diagnose the issue and repair it. Thanks a lot bro.

@kurstpro says:

Yooo! This is the biggest life saver! No one could tell me what was wrong but this is exactly what ive bin dealing with!

@marceloverde1718 says:

if i cut my kia on and the fan doesn’t cut on until the car moves is that the fan or the module ?

@donerickson7305 says:

This is quite different than the control module for a 2011 Kia Sedona.

@cardsfan7334 says:

So it’s not necessary to but a new fan
