Default :::Having an issue with the Auxillary fan :::

3 days ago I went ahead and had the fan clutch replaced on my car along with a leaking coolant expansion tank (resorvoir). Since than the secondary electric auxilary fan will NOT turn off, even when it's 35 degrees outside it stays on all the time while the car is running and the engine is cold, temp gauge is reading a normal temp. (in the middle). I don't know what else to do my mechanic will more than likely charge me a higher price since it might be electrical related.....? Any suggestions ANYONE?

Well the problem hasn't ended, auxiliary fan (left of the main engine fan) is still running no matter what temp. the engine or outside is reading. Started up the car this morning 30 degrees outside and the fan comes on with the key in the on position! HELP

So you had it replaced because it wouldn't come on at all right?

Thank You.....Now this is for the smaller electric auxiliary fan right ? I'm gonna look at it tomorrow, do you perhaps know what the part is called or listed as so I can get a quote if its bad. Hate calling automotive stores playing the guessing game having to describe what a part looks like or where its located
