By this you mean clean? Or just some small fine looking metal? Sorry, I need specifics.inspected the filter, appears fine
So, you found the drain plug. I don't recall off the top of my head, but it should have been in the location indicated, even with tracks. It is not on the bottom of the reservoir, it is on the side, about an inch up from the bottom.Just spent the last 4 hours replacing all hydraulic fluid
By this, do you mean the solenoid cartridge on the fan motor?did pull out the Pressure Relief Valve
Normally, when there is a no turning of the fan on a SSL/CTL, the first thing I do after pulling the plug on the solenoid (with no change in fan speed) and filter inspection (and no debris found) is check the charge pressure. If that is OK, then I move to a motor leakage test. You would need to run a separate hose from the case drain of the fan motor (plug the original hose to prevent the reservoir from draining) and route it safely out to a measurable container. Then with the fan speed solenoid disconnected, engine at fast idle, leakage from the motor's case drain should not exceed 17 oz/min. If it is within spec, then your issue is in the solenoid cartridge, or the charge pump (tested with a flow test with a flow meter). Obviously, if it exceeds 17 oz/min, then the motor is the issue.
