That is why I never EVER even bother going to them. I know overall they will frustrate me more than assist me.

 

Pretty sure im going to have to pick a new controller up soon too. my fan has been staying on for about 10-15 seconds after the car turns off.

Part number i found for this is MR968246
does anybody know if that is correct?

Bux how much did you pay for a new one?

Thanks

 

my fan started whistling a little while ago, pretty annoying too lazy to hunt down the culprit...

 

Yes that's the right part number ( although it's been superseded)and here is a link to a good price etc. on it as well..

Ouch those are spendy Yeah on My 04 it was like that when I turned the car on fans would turn on almost instantly. I swapped out both fans with my new ones and don't have the issue anymore.

 

which fan is it for? radiator fan or ac condenser fan?

im not sure which fan it is that keeps running after i turn off my car

 

Radiator would be my guess.

 

i replaced that little black box the fan module and it was like fried lol like kfc

 

Yeah it's for the radiator, and a warning to all don't delay on this to long as it can/will cause you to be stranded on the side of the road one day if neglected to long

 

I was stranded after a date to a nice hotel.

Was not happy. When the fan fails you have no choice but to pull over. I was stuck in construction traffic on a 90 deg day.

 

I've replaced mine twice, $80 part.

I would love to call them and let them know about this.

 

For those who have replaced this part, or have been through this, around what mileage did this start happening?

 

Around 60-70k the first time, and again at around 86k

 

Does anyone have a DIY or pictures of this part, I'm unclear of the symptoms that you are experiencing, to have to replace this part. Thank you for your help.

 

I don't have pictures but if you look at the back of the radiator fan you'll see a black "box" with two plugs in it, one at the bottom and one on the side. That's the radiator fan control unit.

When it starts going bad, you'll notice that the radiator fan continues to run even after you've taken the keys out of the ignition, sometimes only for a few moments and other times for a good 10-20 seconds.

The car ends up running louder than it should because the radiator fan is either constantly running or struggling between turning on and off. Eventually it fails and your radiator fan isn't able to turn on, and some people have had overheating due to the fact that the fan never comes back on. I fortunately haven't but I have had to replace it twice, most recently in January.
