Why doesn't the radiator fan turn off?
Years

Answer

If your car's radiator fan does not turn off after stopping, there is most likely a fault with the fan circuit or the engine temperature sensor circuit. The simplest operation is to check the integrity of the fan and the relative fuse as well as the sensor. If it is summer and the machine has been used for a long time, it is possible that, even with the engine off, the fan continues to turn to cool the engine better. In this case it is advisable to wait a few minutes in order to ascertain the correct shutdown of the vehicle.
