Fan stays on

[mike]

I hooked up my DS and now my fan won't shut off. Is the DS the reason why, and how would I get it to shut off?

should not be. What happens when you unplug DS?

Normally, this would be a problem with the delay relay, I would think.

It sounds like your fan delay relay is shot. Unplug it to shut off the fan. The delay relay is the largest of the 3 on the Drivers side inner fender.

Take apart the relay and clean up all the corrosion and solder flux. I had the same thing happen to my relay and it ran the battery dead. I ordered a new relay from Kirban, but I realized after I ordered the new relay, I probably could of just fixed the old one. By curiosity, I opened up the old relay and the problems were very evident and looked easy to fix....a few shorts caused by some corrosion and solder flux. I never retested the old relay to see if my fix acutally worked, but I bet it worked.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna go check the relay today. Hopefully that solves my problem.
