Why does the car fan keep running?
1 Answers
If you notice the radiator fan running immediately after turning off the engine, you can wait for a while. This is because the water temperature in the radiator decreases slowly, and the cooling fan may continue to operate for some time before stopping when the engine is just turned off and the water temperature hasn't dropped yet. However, if the fan keeps running even after the car has completely cooled down, it might indicate a fault in the cooling fan assembly or its wiring. More information about the car's electric fan is as follows: 1. Working principle: The car's electric fan is controlled by a thermostat. When the water temperature rises to the upper limit, the thermostat activates the power supply, and the fan starts working. Once the water temperature drops to the lower limit, the thermostat cuts off the power, and the fan stops. 2. Working requirements: The electric fan motor draws a high current during operation, which demands higher specifications for the wiring used.
