When you turn the vent fan on in a vehicle, it can sometimes cause the engine to overheat due to increased load on the engine’s cooling system. The fan draws power from the engine, which may lead to reduced efficiency, particularly if the cooling system is already compromised or if the radiator fan is not functioning properly. Additionally, if the ventilation system is not allowing proper airflow or if the coolant levels are low, it can exacerbate heating issues. Regular maintenance of the cooling system can help prevent such overheating problems.

Your coolant fan may always stay on due to a malfunctioning thermostat, which can cause the engine to overheat and trigger the fan to run continuously. Another possibility is a faulty fan relay or switch that fails to turn off the fan when the engine reaches the appropriate temperature. Additionally, issues with the engine's temperature sensors can also lead to incorrect readings, keeping the fan running. It's advisable to have a mechanic diagnose the problem to prevent potential damage to your engine.
