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.
