Help - Radiator fan always on
As above I will start the car when cold the radiator fan runs, it will shut off from time to time but comes back on.
Anyone else have this issue?
I am not sure what to look at. I have read to check for low coolant, air in the system or a bad relay?

I had the same issue. I didn't even have to start the engine. The engine is stone cold, all I have to do is put the ignition to "ON" position, and the fans will kick in.
Turns out to be the fan control module. I bought a new one from ebay for about $65, it's pretty easy to replace.

I think this is transmitted over forums. I just read this thread a few days ago and now noticed my fan stays on when the car is completely cold.
Thanks for the info, will get in there and have a close look where the module is. Already found it on eBay too.

This fixed it:
BECKARNLEY 203-0276 Cooling Fan Control Module
Took a while to get it out. Had to move away radiator overflow reservoir to get in there.
Just finished my test drive. Parked the car for a while with the engine running and no A/C, and the fans went on after about 10 minutes, then turned off a minute later. No longer running at full speed.
Very happy. That whine was annoying, especially on cold engine.

No it won't it'll just mean your car might take a little longer to warm up, and possibly wear out your radiator fan quicker, I had mine on full blast before I fixed it a month later, everything was fine on my g
