Fan on excessively Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting mrbops New User Sep 15, 2012, 8:18 PM Post #1 of 5 (1943 views) Fan on excessively Sign In Hi, 1st time user so please be gentle!!! I have a Kia Carnival V6 2005 model with 180k, recently the fan seems to be running far more than it used to and runs almost all the time when the engine is warm, however the temp gauge remains at less than 1/2 which is where it usually sits.... Please help!!!

I noticed today that the fan stayed on for a good 10 seconds even though I had got out, turned the ignition off and was walking away!!! Just a bit embarrassing Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 16, 2012, 9:01 AM Post #4 of 5 (1883 views) Re: Fan on excessively Sign In Embarrassed? What for. That is normal operation for many cars. The fan is supposed to run whenever the A/C compressor is engaged and that is engage in defrost and many other modes on new cars to remove moisture. Start the car cold with the HVAC system shut completely off before starting the car and see if the fan starts with the car. If it doesn't then stop looking at the fan and start looking at the temp of the car. I can't tell you much more than that because that car isn't sold here in the US. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. mrbops New User Sep 16, 2012, 9:06 AM Post #5 of 5 (1879 views) Re: Fan on excessively Sign In Ok, thanks for your advice   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
