P0480 Cooling Fan 1 Control Circuit Malfunction has been detected.

What are your operating temps looking like?

Are you driving in a colder climate or in some place nice and warm (unlike it is in MI right now).

Yep, most likely you have a bad connection or you need to replace your electric fan. You should get this done before the weather turns hot or you will have issues.

That's not even the bad part. People don't realize the power of water. That stuff can sweep you away and make you disappear in a flash.

They should both work if you gave them the correct truck info and if they retrieved it correctly. Those are just brand names. Denso is usually the OE brand, which is on the a/c compressor (mine anyways).
