So, i bought an 01 Kia Sportage. before i even drove it, i nick-named it The Goat.. it has been just like a goat.. stubbern at every corner... Re: fan not stopping...

I would be going back to where you bought it and ask for a replacement unit, plus some form of compensation for the time to replace it. They will probably only replace the item itself but you never know. You might score yourself some freebies!

Anyway it was fine later that day and didn't do it again.. don't know why. temps were ok. anyway, I converted mine to an electric fan and bought a $60 fan temperature control. it turns itself on and off based on the sensor probe that is tucked between the fins of the radiator near the upper radiator hose. works great! fan was free.. total cost: $60 Videos of my Sportage in 30" of snow and doing reverse 4wd cookies Panicmech Cardomain - Headlight 'tinting' tutorial included Re: fan not stopping...
