I drove back from the Jersey Shore yesterday, and the main radiator fan was still on after I shut the engine off. I thought perhaps it was designed to do that for a few minutes in case the coolant was too hot.

20 minutes later, it's still running so I started her up and drove her to work (7.5 miles). Engine running at normal temp. Shut her off for a few hours, wen to check on her and the fan is still running, now the battery is almost gone and I can't start the car.

What should I be looking at?

Obviously a mystery. Did you ever figure it out Gil?

Yup - sensor relay. Nobody here had any input, I was left to fend for myself.

Gil....it may be one of those things no one ever has experienced.


by resolving the issue, you have now added to this vast resource, and I thank you for it.

Nah. It's all good, I have a very honest mechanic next door to my office, he hooked me up cheap.

I faced this problem with my father's car. I fixed it myself but hitting the relays near the fuses in the box.
