What's wrong?
The 2024 Prevost X3-45 Vip Entertainer uses an electric radiator cooling fan system to help control engine temperature. A power cable feeds electricity to those cooling fans through a fuse connection. When that connection is tight, the fans receive steady power and the radiator can shed heat as designed.
On affected coaches, the nut that secures the radiator cooling fan cable to its fuse was not tightened enough during manufacturing. That loose connection is the problem, not the cable itself. A poor electrical connection can build heat at the fuse connection, which interrupts the cooling fan circuit and lets engine temperature rise.
The warning sign is engine overheating. In some coaches, an engine overheating warning light appears on the driver instrument panel. After the remedy, Prevost tightens the nut securing the cooling fan cable to its fuse so the connection is properly held.
