Vn thermo fan

[kasey375]

Hi i seem to having a problem with my thermo fan on my V6 s2.
After i start my car and let it run for about 2 minutes the fan will kick in even though the motor is cold? and remains on the whole time my car is runnung weather im in idle or driving.
If anyone could help that could be great.

AC not on, What do you mean by the relay? The one under the bonet where the fues box is ?

Yeah the relay from batt to fuse, check that, it is generally the problem in VN/VP thermo fans n interior fan.....

But then again it couldnt be that the temp sensor is thinkin it is hottre than it really is.....

She not blowin the fuse under dash??

All fuse's and relay's are all good. was thinking it might of been the temp sensor but the temp gauge is reading right, is the 2 temp sensor's? 1 for fan and one for the gauge?

i was driving around for abour 4 years using my AC to turn on my radiator fan as i couldnt be bothered taking it in to get fixed haha but took it in two weeks ago he wired up an adjustable fan controller for $120 i have full control over my fan by the turn of a knob next to the radiator works bloody tops! my temps sit steady on the first white line

Yes there are 2 sensors, both under the alternator, the ECU uses the 2 wire one, the single wire is for the gauge.

The ECM will switch the fan on if there are fault codes active.
