Hi,

I'm used to the cooling fan running for about 5-10 minutes after I shut off my car ... even for short trips/running errands near home.

Just recently (within the past week) the fan no longer runs when my car is shut off.

I read through a few posts and it seems that the problem is usually caused by the relay, or coolant thermostat. I've found the parts on FCP Groton and am sure I could do the repair myself if I knew the source of the problem. I'm not exactly sure how to trouble shoot.

The only information I have is that the cooling fan DOES turn on within a few seconds of turning on my car's A/C ... other than that circumstance, it does not.

Thanks for your help!
Brandon

 

Maybe the coolant temp sensor is bad.
