[Looking for help regarding by radiator fan on an 1989 100. The fan
will not stop running even when the car is off for over 15 min. I
had to disconnect the battery to keep it from draining. I though it
might be the temp sensor or relays so I checked the shop manuals
which indicated that there are three relays that control the fan, two
in the main relay box and one in the auxiliary relay box. With the
battery connected but the key not in the ignition the fan runs even
if I unplug the temp sensor (bottom left of radiator) and either
relay in the primary relay penal. So I tried to find the auxiliary
relay panel behind the lower dash underneath the steering wheel.
Well I found the relay panel but there was no fan relay in position 7
as the manual says. So my question is now what? I would appreciate
any help.]
Ron,
See if the fan stops when you disconnect the radiator switch connector
located at the bottom of the radiator. If so, then that is bad. I had the
same thing happen - bad switch.
