Dear Brother, My Car Aux Fan (IN Front Of Radiator Fan) Still Turning ON After I Shut Off My Engine. May I Know Why? I Cabut The Battery Cable To Turn It Off Then Put It Back. Fan Stop Now Cant Turn On Air Cond At All. Anyone Of You Know What's Going On? I Suspect It Was Relay Faulty. ANy Other Problems??
 
Hi James, sorry to hear your trouble. If your location is somewhere in KL or PJ, better send your car to Naidu. He is just behind the Shell petrol station which is next to the EPF building along Jalan Gasing/Federal Highway. Might be some electrical or wiring problems.

go to air cond shop they said might b that air cond valve located at below dashboard oredi stuck. if replace will take out dashboard n nd 2 working days.

May be the fan problem if u feel cool when moving but not cool when stop.
 
Hi ryucky, better be careful when the air cond is not working when your car is stationery. The air is hot because the auxiliary fan is not turning. This would also contribute to overheating at your engine bay. I faced the same problem. Sent my car to Naidu behind Shell station,next to EPF Jalan Gasing/Federal Highway. He checked the air cond sensor, changed something below the dash board, changed the pressure switch (located near the right front light). But problem remains. Good thing is Naidu didn't charge me at all. Those parts which he changed, if they are found out not to be faulty, he will just put back the original one. Good work. But the mystery still remains.

What I do now, you may try, when I'm stuck in a jam, just put your gear to N and rev the engine a bit for a while. This would invariably turn on the auxiliary fan and cool air should come in again. More importantly, once the fan runs, your engine won't run the risk of overheating. Cheers.
 
Just remember one thing, if ur car engine temperature goes overheat, stop the car immediately, if not, u will painful to pay the overhaul fee.
 
thanks bro Grand n bro bmw7833 for the input. will b more careful.

thanks and regards
 
Same thing happened to me. The fan just kept on running for quite a while. It turn off itself after 10min. (left the car and came back only realised it was running)

might be a sensor trying to cool down the engine?

I sent To My Mechanic On Monday, And He Able To Fixed It On Moday Evening, Awesome.

It Was Thermostat Sensor Spoiled, Luckily I Found The Problem Earlier, Otherwise My Car Battery Sure Flat.........
