Well maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't hear it beffore, I went to a AutoX comp. and when I get back to my home and turn the car off, the radiator fan keep working for about 10 sec. and since then it always does, maybe this was normal and didn't hear it, but as far as I remember the fan stops when the we turn the car off, is'nt?? Can you please some body check and tell me??

Thanks!

 

I Believe the fan keeps going until the car is cool enough... I think its completely normal

 

i think this is normal. i have had this happen with my Ra and a few other cars i have had in the past. Had a saturn that did it too and a grand am.

It's an electric fan and it's controlled electronically and turned on when the engine is not cooled properly. It will never run when driving on the highway, but will often run when you're waiting at the light. The fact that the engine is running or not has the reverse effect from what you'd expect: when you shut the engine off, the coolant stops flowing and the temp sensor immediately registers higher than optimal temps. The system will then activate the fan to cool the engine down to safe temperatures.

Don't worry, it's not gonna run the battery down or anything... but yeah, never put your hands near the fan when you just shut down the engine.
