lol, I still haven't gotten around to getting the part.

Although today, I said stop buying carbon fiber pieces and take care fo the maintenance lol...I think I'll be ordering it today....temp guage has always stayed in the middle...did a 7 hr drive and was still good....

but I don't want to push it...

 

im so glad i found this thread, mine started a couple days ago (35k) gonna call the dealer to get a quote, if not its DIY time...gives me an excuse to inspect my coilovers too

and racman...what size are those 5zigens and what are your wheel specs? im looking to get the same wheels and cant decide on 16s or 17s. thx

 

took it to the stealership today, got it done under warranty. total cost = only $200 dollars (i spent it on an impact wrench and toolbox from lowes next door)

 

Im glad i come across this. My fan has been not coming on when it should every now an again an makin me run hot. My first guess was the temp sensor in the radiator. Do we have one of these? Or can i just assume its the fan controller?

 

Does your radiator fan stay running a little bit after you turn the car off? Like around 8-10 seconds?

 

Sometimes
But hell,some cars do that. It even says on the fan assembly in a lot of dif cars that the fan may come on unexpectedly when the car is off. Thus why i dont understand why people find this so weird in our cars.

 

Because my car has never done it before until it randomly just started doing it, its a noticeable difference, it turns on full blast when the car is off.

 

unfortunately my car is now doing this... does anyone have the part number i need to look for on autocenter?

 

Well would anyone be able to tell me if it'd be number 4 in the picture?

Yes thats it.

 

Oh ya, I thought it was the fan controller...

1355A053 $88.58 $0.00 $67.50
Cooling system - Cooling fan - Control module
Control module, lancer, w/o turbo 2003 - 2006

 

So which is it? Is it the one that TriangleChoke is saying or the link I posted? I only ask because one of them asks for the 2.4L engine which is the RA while the other does not

 

Mine got me stuck yesterday. For some reason the fan wont cut on about half the time when i idle. I have to get the car moving in order for it to start running. I got stuck on the highway when i hit some construction and it was stop an go traffic.Car ran real hot an fan wouldn't come on. I finally got a break in the traffic an i got the car going then it came on.

 

This is why you replace the fan control unit lol

 

Does it matter which one we buy? cause 2 were posted up here and not sure which one is the proper one
