After run fan doesn't shut off.

This has drained my battery. Any suggestions? Is there a thermo-switch which has died?

Re: After run fan doesn't shut off.

Does the after run pump not shut off either?

I'd say relay bad. Does fan run when car is running w/o a/c on?

Should shut off after ~8 minutes

Easiest thing to do is unplug the thermal switch..

Under the intake on the coolant pipe, the small switch with 2 seperate wires(no connector). Unplug the wires, if the fan stops then you have a stuck thermal switch, if it keeps running, then its probably a stuck relay. Unless you have some weird wiring problem I've never seen. This is only in after run mode? Or does the fan always run even with car running/ac off. Because there are a few relays that control the fan.
