Radiator Fan Stays Running
Hi everyone,
I have recently run into a little trouble with my 2002 X-Type 3.0.
The issue is that the radiator fan stays running after the car is turned off. the fan stays running until the battery is completely drained. This issue did not just start. The fan would stay on long after the car was turned off and then eventually turn off 5 or 10 minutes later. Recently, however, the fan just stays on indefinitely.
There are four possible causes that the dealership suggested:
1. Thermostat is not functioning properly
2. Electrical system has a short circuit
3. Radiator fan relay is not functioning properly
4. Radiator fan module needs replacement
Could someone please inform me as to whether any of the aforementioned causes are the source of the problem, or whether there may be another cause not listed.
Also, is there any way to disconnect the radiator fan from the battery. This would be a temporary solution of course.
I sincerely thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this matter.
