99C280 Auxiliary fan control puzzle
Please help me. I'm a single female who knows NOTHING about cars. Background, I have a 99 C280 Benz. I recently had to replace the A/C temperature control panel. I was so happy because I had air again (I'm in Texas, so you can imagine how happy I was). Anyway, immediately after the mechanic replaced the A/C control panel, I noticed that my car sounded like an airplane about to take off. The fan was extremely loud. I asked the mechanic about it and he said, well it's hot so the fan is going to be operating full force and I'm thinking okay, I've been without air for a year, so maybe I've forgotten how my car use to sound when the a/c was working. But, even after I turn the A/C off, the fan is still loud.
I took it back to the mechanic and he said the the auxiliary fan control module needs to be replaced.
So, my question is this: is it just a conicidence that this part went out at the SAME time that they replaced my temperature control panel? I mean I brought the car in that morning, the fan was working fine, picked the car up a lilttle while later and the fan is operating on high.
Please explain it to me as though I were a 2 year old
P.S. I'm new to the forum, so I hope I've posted this correctly.
