Our fan is running after we turn the van off as well. But we've owned it for four years, and it only just started doing this. The cooling level is OK, and there are no over-temp indicator lights on. What's more, the fan doesn't seem to run at a constant speed, it revs up and down irregularly for a few minutes. This doesn't seem normal, but it would be nice to double check before taking it in and getting a big repair bill. Thanks!

Hi chasser,

If the fan does not stop running after a few mins, the fan relay could be faulty, it is stuck and not releasing or the fan switch is not accurate.

If it stops running after a few mins, it is normal unless you don't have enough fluid in the cooling system.
