Hello fellow owners!

I noticed a few days ago that the two coolingfans in front of the radiator is running as soon as i turn the ignition key.
I have hardly ever seen them activated before, maybe once or twice in the summertime but now its nearly freezing outside.

So, what do you guys recon? electical faliure of some sort?

Thanks!

Hi most probably a temperature sensor failure.does your G have aircon?? I see it is a 350GD! has it ever overheated?

Re: Coolingfans always running

Hi Fans are linked to the aircon heat exchanger cooling circuit as well. still suspect a failed sensor or corrosion of sensor connections causing circuit to go to ground/earth making the fans run as you switch on the ignition.
