Hello to all, I own a 2002 lancer es with a manual tranny, I bought it used and when I first bought it the radiator fan would be on all the time on high speed, it would turn on when I turn my key to acc and also when I start the engine. It doesn't turn off until I turn the car off and take the key out. I thought it was normal thinking it was because it was an older car than what I owned, which was a 2012 Corolla. Then I noticed that the power wire of the fan is connected at the fuse box with a fuse on the cable, very similar to te fuse on a power cable to an amp for a sound system. Is there a cheap way to make it normal again or would I hbe to buy a new fan and new wiring or take it somewhere. Thank you and hope to hear from some one soon.

the fan control module probably died, and then whoever owned it, just wired power directly to the fans...

I'll check that out. I searched 2002 lancer fan control module on Google and "2002 lancer fan control module recall" was the first thing to pop up sooooo I'm guessing that's what's wrong lol

they use the same ones on the next gen lancers as well...it's a common issue. I had to replace mine the same year I bought the car (when it was 3 years old)

any ideas on how to get the connectors end plugs beside buying new fans. I took a second look at it and the radiator fan and ac condenser fan are wired together. is there a place i can search to just get the plugs ends without having to buy new fans?
