What does it mean if a 1997 acura 3.2 tl fan does NOT continue to blow when ignition is turned off?

If the fan in a 1997 Acura 3.2 TL does not continue to blow after the ignition is turned off, it typically indicates that the cooling system is functioning normally. In this model, the fan is designed to operate only when the engine is running or when the ignition is on to cool the engine. If the fan were to run continuously after the ignition is off, it might suggest a malfunction, such as a faulty relay or sensor.

I have a 2005 Honda Pilot and just recently the engine fan keeps running after the ignition has been shut off. Why is this happening?

The fan is on a thermostat, causing the fan to run if cooling is required, even when the car ignition is turned off. Having said that, if you notice that the fan is running long after you've shut the engine off, you may have a problem!

What is wrong if I turned the air conditioning off but the fan is still blowing?

It could be that the fan switch on the thermostat is turned on so the fan runs all the time not just when the A/C or heat is on. This is supposed to be the most efficient method.


What causes the cooling fan on a 1997 Ford Escort not to shut off after the ignition is turned off causing it to run indefinitely?

The cooling fan is supposed to keep running as long as the coolant is over temperature. If it runs too long, it could be the temperature sensor or a stuck relay. If the relay has become magnetized or fused, you need to replace it.

Why does Fan on 1996 vw golf stays on when ignition is turned off?

It is normal for the fan to run after shutdown with the engine hot for a short time ( a few minutes tops) if it runs longer than a few minutes suspect the thermofan switch in the lower ( or battery side tank) tank has failed.


Why does the fan keep running on a 1983 caprice classic when engine is off?

If the fan keeps running it's because it is electric and wired through a temperature switch not the ignition. Electric Fan running is independent of engine running. When the temperature is high enough to start the fan, it goes on. when the temp drops the fan goes off. Temp does not drop right away when the car is turned off. It can actually rise several degrees when the engine is turned off. The fan running after engine shut off is actually a good thing that may prevent radiator overflow
