I just got my 2003 EVO the other day and although I have not had much time to spend with it I did notice several times that the rad fan is coming on right after you start it then will cycle on/off a few times. This is after the car has been sitting forever so...it is *not* hot....the fan should not be coming on.

My VIN shows one recall still needing to be done and it might be the fan one however I cannot find any symptoms as to what the bad control would cause short of the fan staying on and killing batteries.

I tried searching to no avail....

Thanks for any thoughts :-)

 

Is your defroster or a/c on by chance?

And yeah you should get that fan recall done but I doubt it's related to this unless the above is false.

 

Not that I know of? The temp selector is not all the way counter clockwise and the A/C button light is not on...

Thanks

 

Interesting. Well the fan control module thing might help you out, get it done and report back. My dealer did it in about 20 mins.

 

IIRC, it's normal

 

Fan will circulate on/off as the thermostat dictates, but that's not normal when the car is cold started.

 

Yea I Work At A Mitsu Dealer There Is A Recall For The Electic Fan Relay Just Go To The Dealer..

 

the fan is suppose to turn on and off when warming up, mine never did it until I got the recall done. Now that damn thing goes on and off constantly but I guess thats what its suppose to do.

 

I havn't gotten any of the recalls done yet the thought of leaving my car at a mitsu dealer gives me nightmares

but to get back on topic mine has never done that hope you find out what's causing it.

 

I checked yesterday and defrost was actually selected (not the rear defrost but the windshield) so I lied earlier <sorry>. Can I assume the EVO kicks on the AC compressor whenever the defrost is selected?
