Mazda3 BL Radiator Fan: Check the Engine and the Actual Connector Photograph

A shared Mazda3 BL build year and a “2.0 litre” description do not settle a cooling-fan match. The selected application is the LF 2.0L MZR petrol sedan or hatch within 04/2009–12/2013. Skyactiv, diesel and MPS applications are outside that product’s stated scope.

The electrical comparison needs similar care. Use the actual supplier connector photograph alongside the original assembly, rather than copying a terminal-count field from another cross-referenced offer.

Confirm the engine application first

The BL LF 2.0L MZR cooling-fan assembly is referenced to LF8B-15-025H and Partslink MA3115144. It is listed with the fan, motor, shroud and control module.

Keep the engine and series codes in the enquiry. The selected scope does not extend to BK, BM or BN series merely because a catalogue also uses the Mazda3 name.

Read the actual connector view

Two metal contacts are visible in this close view. That observation describes this pictured connector; it is not a claim that every aftermarket assembly carrying a related reference has the same terminal specification.

Compare the populated contacts as well as the housing shape and keying. Plastic spaces and ribs are not electrical contacts. If a catalogue field and the supplied photograph disagree, resolve the difference before ordering rather than choosing whichever detail appears to match.

Check the entire assembly

The original reference, module, fan blade, shroud and attachment points must agree as a group. A similar blade or black plastic frame does not establish all of those details.

The TYC manufacturer cross-reference entry provides reference context for its assembly. Read its specifications as that manufacturer’s information, rather than treating every cross-referenced offer as physically identical.

What to send for confirmation

Send the VIN, BL code, build month, engine code, original reference and clear connector, module and shroud photographs where accessible. Mention previous fan or engine changes. The workshop should identify the fault and repair scope separately; this comparison does not supply an electrical pinout or diagnose a fan that will not run.
