Ford Fiesta Radiator Fan

Hi Friends!

A few days ago I found it strange that after turning off the engine, the radiator fan kept spinning. I started the engine and turned it off again. The fan went off.

Doing some research I found this:

Have any of you experienced the same? Is this true for you owners of other brand/models?

Do you think it is feature or a glitch?

normal naman yan kasi mainit pa ang engine baka naka trigger pa yung thermoswitch..

Yeah perfectly normal yan, the ECU will detect naman if the fan needs to be spinning depending on the heat even of the engine is off already...

I experienced this once. I thought it was a bug

No need to worry sir. That is normal, even the VW's has these even if you have locked your car the fans are still running.

not an owner of Fiesta pero kahit anong auto na ang fan ay electrical powered (not belt driven) and controlled ng thermoswitch, then normal lang ito.

but if after a quite some minutes na ganun pa rin, hindi na normal iyon, observe niyo sir, dapat mamatay din iyon kaagad.

I can confirm that this is an excellent feature. Having both watercooled VW’s and the Fiesta, they are equipped with after-run fan. Controlled by a thermo-switch yan.
