My fan stays on when i turn the car on 91 escort?

Question

irecently got a battery from a guy to put in the car when this started

Answer 1

Check around the fan area and make sure that the temp sensor wire is connected and also not pinched. The coolent fan is operated by a temp sensor which at a temp about 190 degrees comes on, and will run after the vehicle is turned off, but will shut off after the engine coolant cools down below the sensor reading. Make sure all connections to the battery are tight and not loose or disconnected. There are alote of items around the battery area which could become disconnected, broken off, get loose, and loose grounding wiring, and check for good clean surfaces and not the white stuff which forms around the battery area and the wiring, which eats away at metal and wiring.

Answer 2

This is typicall. If you have the owner's manual it will address this issue. Normally it will stay on up to 15minutes after the car is turned off.

Answer 3

if the engine is hot, then it will stay on, until it cools off. check the fan sensor, it could be stuck.
