The twin fans on my Series II seem to operate continuously. Is there a temperature sensor somewhere that I need to replace?

The only time I've seen them run constantly is when I bridged the contacts of the unpugged fan switch connector as a test. Perhaps your sensor has failed closed circuit?
Might be worth a check. Ciarán This post has been edited by Ciaran on February 04, 2008 01:44 am -------------------- '95 XM 2.1TD VSX Hatch: RP 6429. Rare green ;-)

Is this a new fault or has the car always done this? -
as Ciaran said - someone may have bridged the fan relays to prevent overheating due to a temp sensor failure. Unusual for a temp sensor to fail closed. Have you got air con? -------------------- '99 'V' XM 2.0 CT VSX Auto Estate RP 8360 Green.
