Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 10mm socket, ratchet, long extension, flat blade screwdriver
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, pop open the wire retainer on the top of your fan shroud, lift the wire off, and it's long enough that you can just lay it back in the engine bay. You can remove it from the battery and take it out completely if you'd like to, but this should give you plenty of room to work.
Remove the seven 10mm bolts along the fan shroud. There should be two on the bottom on each side. Ours is missing two bolts, and then three along the top, and the same two bolt locations on this side. We'll remove these with a 10mm socket ratchet and extension. Once the hardware's removed, lift up and remove the upper fan shroud from the vehicle.
To reinstall your upper radiator fan shroud, reinstall the seven 10mm bolts securing your fan shroud. Tighten them down with a 10mm socket ratchet. Reinstall the wire along the top of your shroud, lock it back into place.
