I have been having a siiue with my fan in which it periodically kicks on when it feels like it. I cleaned the contact as best I could, but there is still alot of green corrosion in it. So for now when the car gets hot I switch on the AC and the fan kicks on as long as the AC is on.
I went ahead and ordered a new temp sensor and pigtail.
BUT WAIT!!! THERES MORE!!!
Today when I started the car, the fan kicked on immediately and the car wasnt even warmed up! When I pulled the key out of the ignition the fan continued to run! I opened the hood and unplugged the temp sensor and it still kept running! I have been driving most of the day disconnecting the battery when I make long stops. PITA!!! This has been going on for 8 hours and all of a sudden the fan decides it will cut off when I pull the key out of the ignition, and has gone back to operating normally.
What is the friggin possible problems. I know it cant be the sensor because I unplugged it and the fan kept running. It wont stop until I disconnect battery.
Help!!
