My 02 S came home last night with the fan running, and it wouldn't shut off. The wife removed the battery post, and when I got home several hours later and re-attached the cable, the fan came back on. Looking through forums, the wife found that this is a slightly common problem, and the easy fix is to tap on the fan relay......first off all, I work in the parts department of a dealership and have been most my life. Here is the problem I ran into, and I hope it helps some of you.
The fix (on several posts and different forums) is to tap the relay pack on the left side of the fan shroud. I could not find such item on the left side, I did find it on the passenger side (after I told my wife she was looking in the wrong area, so now I owe her an apology). So for those **** parts guys, like me, the relay pack is on the RIGHT side of the fan shroud, for my wife, it's the left side
A few taps, and apology and the fan shut off. Since she drives my car more than myself (gas mileage reasons, as her truck sucks the gas and I only drive 20 miles a day) I had her do the tap fix, so she knows what to do in case it happens again.
Happy Motoring

 

You are aware that it is not going to get any better?
