You are talking about the blower motor inside the car that blows the air through the vents not the engine fan correct? I also need to know automatic a/c or manual?

Ok so you are talking about the engine fan then. So how do you know it comes on to often? What temp does it come on at? When you use the A/C or Defrost it will come on. I am thinking that it is the fan control relay that is under the hood near the radiator. It is a black box and it controls the fan, timing and when it comes on.
