This is a common symptom of a corroded CFCM connector – inspect and replace the connector before replacing the fan module itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this connector compatible with Land Rover Freelander 2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. The Land Rover Freelander 2 shares the Ford C1 platform and uses the same cooling fan control module and 1544361-1 connector as the Ford Focus and Kuga.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 × 2-Pin Female Connector (1544361-1) with 18 AWG wire and terminal insert\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cable Parts Online","offers":[{"title":"2P \/ Female with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|3 Sets","offer_id":47844195205365,"sku":"14:200004889#Female with Wire;200001249:202408832#3 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":47.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ Female with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|10 Sets","offer_id":47844195238133,"sku":"14:200004889#Female with Wire;200001249:202408829#10 Sets;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":157.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2P \/ Female with Wire \/ China Mainland|Line Connector|1 Set","offer_id":47844195270901,"sku":"14:200004889#Female with Wire;200001249:202408830#1 Set;200007763:201336100;200497261:200000932;462:203053809","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3494\/0149\/files\/S9784e62aed9b4e58a5b87197e9c9675fb.webp?v=1773810057","url":"https:\/\/www.csldmcml.com\/products\/2-pin-1544361-1-8mm-cooling-fan-control-module-connector-ford-land-rover","provider":"Cable Parts Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
