Im just curious with my radiator fan. In the morning, the fan will switch on after 15 mins for only 15 seconds then switch off. Is this normal?
15 minutes before my fan will switch on?
then it will only switch on for 15 seconds...
What do u think?
Please share your experience with your cars...
Thanks in advance!

June 10th, 2011 02:35 AM #4The On and Off condition is triggered by a thermal switch located just after the thermostat in the return path of the coolant to the radiator. the radiator fan will be turned on until the coolant cools enough to cause the thermal switch to open the electrical contacts within the switch.
So what you have is a normal occurence. Nothing to worry about.

June 10th, 2011 07:08 AM #5tip_tipid thanks for the explanation but for me, I think it should be more than 15 seconds when my fan will on. I thought of a bad thermo switch. i owned an ek years ago and my fan will on more than 15 seconds when it turns on.

June 10th, 2011 01:10 PM #6normal lang yan... nag-aautomatic ang fan mo... pag-on ng auto sa umaga, talagang hindi pa aandar ang fan dahil hindi pa naman umiinit ang engine bay mo.
