I just replaced the radiator in my 81 Diesel Rabbit and now the Cooling Fan on my stays running and will NOT shut off. It stays running LONG after what a "normal" cool down period would take.
I finally pulled the plug (on back of the fan) after it was running for almost (10) minutes ??
What do I need to check ??
When you installed the new radiator, did you replace the temperature switch as well? Bleed your cooling system?
replace that sensor that you unplugged. $30 ish (Cdn)with new seal (metal crush washer). Plug back in. Bob's your uncle! You should probably put in a new thermostat and o ring while your doing it. Also hoses would be wise.
I say this 'cause I did my rad ...then I had to do hoses...then I had to do sensor...then I had to to Thermsat. I could have saved a lot of time, money and cursing if I had odne it all at the same time.
Good luck
Out.
replace that sensor that you unplugged.
It was the fan I unplugged. Not a sensor.
What sensor controls the fan and where is it located ??
When you are standing in front of the car it is on the right side radiator tank.
