406 radiator fan runs on

HI
1999 406 2.0


Radiator fan ran on after car turned off. Battery ran flat.
I had to disconnect battery every time i parked.
did a 50 mile run, didn't help. Engine temp didn't go above 90 on the dash
guage.
A bit of fiddling about, squashed a few hoses to maybe move an air bubble,
removed a couple of leaves.

Now seems ok.

Should i be looking for a thermostat, if so, where is it.
Would alot of rain & puddles mabe cause a short in a sensor somwhere ?

maybe someone could help.

Try the fan control relays, there are three of these if you have a two fan
model. They are controlled by the ECU which reacts to a control thermostat.
On my 406 I believe they are located under the wheel arch passenger side.
Haynes manual shows a wiring diagram for the three relays but the method of
energising differs on some models from the Haynes manuel.

Thanks
Will take a look
Knowing that most of the puddles are in the gutter side of the road &
beyond, I suppose its possible that water may have got in that side & messed
about ?

this can be quite normal dont worry about it , it should stop quite soon after
you stop the car.

 

But it isn't normal is it? The fan ran on and flattened the battery is
what the post said.
