Why does your 1989 acura legend condensor fan keep coming on when car is parked?

Answer 1

Your Acura may have an automatic coolant temperature switch which activates your condensor (auxillary fan) fan to operate while the car is parked if the coolant temperature is to high, say 205 degrees. Once it reaches, lets say 195 degrees it will automatically shut off. The factory has a preset off and on temp switch that controls the aux fan, when to start and when to stop. To make sure your vehicle is equipped with this type of aux fan control open the hood and look by the aux fan to see if a warning label is present. It will say, "Caution, fan may start when vehicle is turned off." Or simply check your vehicles owner manual. If the fan stays on to long and drains the battery down so that you can't start it, then its time to take it to your favorite mechanic.
