My cars have the same behavior--afterrun triggers only on warm days,
etc. However neither one produces what I'd consider high-speed fan
operation. It _can_ be heard from a few car lengths away (2 or 3 at
most) in a quiet environment--however I think high-speed operation is
much louder than that.

In our Lago sedan, the afterrun has never lasted more than a few
minutes (3 or 4 at most), whereas a few days ago I was surprised to
hear the red sedan's afterrun persist for more than 10 minutes (and
that was after just moderate driving on a 80 degree day). The only
time I've been aware of more than one "on" cycle was after a session
at the track. I wonder if the the relay condition (age/defects, etc)
can contribute to much variability in afterrun timing/cycling. I've
always figured that the relay was OK if it worked at all. I guess
that's not necessarily true.
