2019 Ford Ranger with 27,000 miles Fan Clutch harness broke

[airline tech]

I have been wanting to get ahold of a (old) clutch as i want to know how important is the (OE) positioning of the sensor - we know the support tube is to keep the sensor in position as well as a support for the harness - since the ones that have had a broken hose and no drivability issues and the sensor is (off) clock - I do not think it really matters - but not confirmed yet, I think as long as the sensor itself is stable - then the PCM can see accurate fan speed, the actual position should not matter - but while the sensor is (actually) moving then the PCM cannot accurately determine fan speed.
So yes the sensor itself needs to be (stabilized) as its recording a moving target

The fan clutch position is not part of the fan clutch feedback. The PCM only needs fan speed. So, if a replacement hose put the clutch in a slightly different position, it is not an issue.

This part of the Ranger design, to me, looks like it was overlooked from the beginning and only caught halfway down the assembly line and they came up with something on the fly...
Even when "good" , its the damn loudest fan design that I have ever had or even herd before ... sounds like im leaving the house in a jet every morning...
