Fan won't turn off
 
Well for some unknown reason my car's cooling fan won't stop running. I have a 160 degree thermostat, but don't remember hearing the fans stay on like they do now. I got rid of the dexcool a year ago, and have flushed the radiator twice. I don't know if dexkill has made my radiator clogged.


​​​​​​​Any clues?

Agreed. I'll move this to the Externals section.

Anyone?

need more details. What do you mean the fans dont turn off?
While driving the car the fans are always on or when you park the car and turn the key off the fans stay on?

How is the coolant temperature? Running hot?
Is the car tuned with different fan on\off temps?

​​​​​​​ The fan stays running constantly at a light, when running around. The car is tuned to have the fan on at 185 degrees. The car never gets up to 210 degrees. I'm just concerned because I never remember the fan running as often as it does. I'm wondering if it's due to the dexcool sludge I've been trying to clear out, and possibly needing a new radiator.

Do you have a way to check a/c pressure? I noticed this weekend when I rigged my wideband up through the a/c pressure sensor that if the wideband is on my fans kick on.
