 Subject: fan won't shut off - ever!
IP: Logged
Message:
Have a 98 Dokata with the 2.5 and we're having a problem. The radiator fan will not cut off - after shutting off the vehicle you have to unplug the connector to get the fan to stop. Plugging in back in later (doesn't matter how much later) the fan kicks on prior to the starting the engine.
The temperature guage reads low except when my son forgets to plug the fan in and then it reads high.
My first thought is a temperature sensor problem but I'm not sure as it never seems to "reset" - could the sensor be shorted out and that be what's causing it to run continously?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yup, could be the sensor, or the switch its supposed to trip.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

eliminate the fan relay by swapping with one of the other relays in the PDC(power dist center) like the horn or a/c comp relay. if it still doesn't shut off it's probably the temp sensor.
i'd lay odds on the relay being bad.

Mine sounds like it came off a large cooling unit.
