Afterrun Fan Issue

["Richard Haroutunian" <Richard_Haroutunian@inso.com>]

Folks,

I'm dropping my car off tonight to have the resistor pack replaced on my
cooling fan so that the afterrun ran will work again.

However, an interesting thing happened after I shut the cart off last
night.  Usually I can hear the turbo cooling pump now due to the fact that
the afterrun fan hasn't been kicking on.


But last night, I heard what sounded almost exactly like the afterrun fan,
only it wasn't.  I opened the hood- and there was hot air blowing from the
black, vacuum head-looking thingy on the top of the engine!  The hot air
was blowing out of a little hole on the top of the triangular hoover-vaccum
head!

Anyone know what this means? I've never seen this happen before.  Is it due
to the lack of coolness from the afterrun fan not working?

Thanks,

Richard
