anyone????

dont remove the fan relay the reason its not turning off is because it cooling down it will shut off by itself when its ready

If it doesn't turn off by itself after a few minutes then try replacing the relay, it could be stuck on.

Had mine repaired earlier this week. Auto-electrician replaced the burnt out relay. Racq guy told me they only take the relay out if your a short distance from the repairer so the engine doesn't overheat.

The relay was a common fault years ago along with the fuel pump relay, to a point that a rework was done. If you have replaced the relay already, was it a new one or swapped from elsewhere? Try another first and see how it goes.

there are two relays.
1/ for the temp
2/ for the aircon

nb: some models only use one.
