Review on ๐Ÿ”ง TOYOTA Genuine 622020 Highlander Radiator Cooling Fan Assembly - Driver/Passenger Side Replacement by James Weber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This unit has the same electric motors as the Toyota Highlander Hybrid

We have a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The right fan motor started shaking, shaking the entire fan and heatsink assembly. After removing the fan assembly and dismantling the motor, we found that one of the four brushes was so worn that it was no longer making electrical contact. The switch was also worn out to the point where it looks like it might fail as well. Replacing the motor seems to be the best option. We decided to replace both engines as the second one was also worn out. Toyota offers the engine (16363-20390) for $180-$200. To use Toyota engines you would have to spend at least $360. The cooling fan assembly for the hybrid model is completely different from that used only on the petrol Highlander. On the hybrid model, a coolant overflow tank is built into the assembly. We could not find the entire assembly for the hybrid model anywhere. So the only option we had was to replace the engine. After looking around for motors we decided to find a build with the same motors and just swapped ours out for those of a gas Highlander assembly with a fan. TYC 622020 motors fit perfectly. None of the other parts in the assembly were used in the hybrid cooling assembly, the bracket is different and the fan blades are a different size. After we removed the motors from the TYC 622020 and installed them into our assembly, our fans are running smoothly again. So if you're looking for a build for your Highlander hybrid, save $230 or more and take the TYC 622020 engines and use them in your hybrid build. They work great!
