hot air blower staying on?
Hi All,
How long does the hot air blower in the engine compartment stay on after the engine is switched on? Seems like mine has decided to stay on for over 5mins. This happened after I fired her so my brother could hear her running...she was only running for 1min or so...and now the blower is still running 10mins later.
cheers

The blower motor will cycle on & off for short bursts after shutdown to scavenge out hot air if the temp sensor records a high enough temperature in the engine shrouding. There is also a "time-out" feature that stops the fan from cycling on after about 15 minutes. If, after shutdown, the fan never cycles on when hot or it continually runs until the "time-out" feature turns it off, something is probably wrong. The easy and inexpensive problems are a bad temp sensor (most likely) or thermo switch. If those check out OK, could have a bad Climate Control Unit - @$1,000.
By the way, my own experience was a running-on fan, leading to a dead battery if I made too many short trips. I started replacing parts ($$$) without a solution - finally Tony Callas found that the new, dealer purchased, factory Temp Sensor was defective. Tony put in a new one again & everything has worked fine since.
