PEM, motor gets too hot -- fans failed

[David1267]

Welp, time to replace the fans. I have a 2.5 - ie two separate fans. Does anyone know of an OEM direct replacement (electrical and physical) for the SPAL 009-A70-74D 12V? It looks like they have a 010-A70-74D on their site but no specs. I’ve emailed them. Not looking to convert to the “connected fans on a big backplate with a Y cable” solution (cutting bolts, firmware, sway bar…yikes). Hoping for a simple plug and play replacement…… thanks in advance folks.

The 010 is bigger. If you buy a 009-A70-74D from Ebay or Amazon, you will have to splice on the Tesla connector directly to the motor leads, which bypasses the speed resistor that is mounted on it.

Got mine from T7Design.co.uk not saying they were the best but very easy to deal with.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is the whole assembly for my 2.0

Just to round this up I just got a pair of fans (2 single ones for clarification) for about $300 canadian delivered so about $110 USD each. Best price I could find was from MalpasAirflow. They were the 009-A70-74D without the 3 speed resistor that usually needs bypassing.

Thanks for sharing!
Is this the best DIY plug and play option for 2.x roadsters that does not require modification of connectors or change/update to firmware from Tesla? Will these also work for 1.5 roadsters?
