  • In this video I explain why your radiator cooling fan keeps running and won't turn off after shutting off the engine. It is normal for the fan to keep running for 30 seconds when the vehicle is turned off. However, if the fan runs more than 5 minutes the problem could be something else.

    Some cars have a fan control unit installed on the fan that controls the fan speed according to the temperature of the coolant and the IAT. Two places to also consider

    Hi
    I have 2011 Toyota highlander limited edition. I have problem with air conditioner, it doesn’t blow cold air in a slow speed, when you stuck in traffic or idle,
    The pressure is perfect, it blows cold air when car is drinking normal.
    I took it to a few mechanics and they keep saying you need to add refrigerant.
    I know a little about hvac for he but not for cars.
    Please let me know what can i do.
    I don’t want to take it to the dealer before i talk to you
    I am in Maryland, i wish you were closer

    • @davelundergoesunder
      @davelundergoesunder 10 дней назад

      If things are working properly, an electric fan for the cooling system should cycle on and off on demand according to the temperature sensing switch. It will typically cycle on when in stop and go traffic but shut itself off as ram air will provide enough flow when traveling.

    whats considered a few minutes? i just got a new to me car...2021 buick encore, black on black... its been unusually hot here in FL.. 100... ive never had a car where i have heard the fan continue to run. it ran roughly 25 min after shut off.... is THIS normal?

    • @Top5AutoRepairs
      @Top5AutoRepairs  4 месяца назад

      It's definitely not normal. The fan should run no more than 5 minutes. It also depends on outdoor temperature. The fan may run a little bit longer.

      The same thing happens in my wife's CRV.
      My mechanic told me the issue is the fans. The car has TWO fans. One is supposed to always be on when the car is running. The second one is supposed to turn on when the AC is on.
      However, if that second fan won't turn on (bad motor maybe) then the car will only cool down when the air is blowing through the front.
      So basically, replace the fan.
