Hello all,
The other night, a fan on my Fiesta stayed on after I switched the engine off. I don't know whether it was the air-con or the cooling fan. I waited a bit and it was still running so in the end I got back in, started the car, then turned it back off- and this time the fan turned off. I've had the car 2 years and it's never done it before. I went into Ford this morning and they told me that if the car's pretty hot, the cooling fan is designed to stay on after the engine is switched off. Can anyone confirm this is the case? Thanks in advance... cheers FD |

on the topic of fans. is it just my fez, or are other people's fans overly loud. it just seems odd that the my fan is so loud and prominent.

mine did it pretty much all the time..but i did kind of thrash it, and i would generally drive for long periods of time, so the engine would heat up, hence the fan going when the car is off..when i first noticed that it stayed on i thought it was kinds cool lol..like the cars that keep running when they've been turned off

Mine never went on ever. Even after drag racing and turning it off waiting in the queue.
