Radiator fan doesn't turn off once it is on r50
Hello, I am having an issue where when I turn on the A/C and the radiator fan goes full speed. I then turn it off and the fan doesn't turn off until I turn off the engine.
What's worse, with the AC turned on and as i am going through the gears, the fan revs up with the engine and slows as well. Gets really loud. With the AC turned off, it stays at the same speed which is good.
Could it just be a relay issue? I have done the mod where I just skip stage 1 and go to stage 2 fan immediately.
CORRECTION: I looked into this some more. Before it sounded like the fan was speeding up with the engine. In reality, the noise is coming from the compressor. It is giving off a whine that at high rpms disappears. I am wondering if it is the clutch or what...
