75 CDTI facelift. Fan never stop !
Hello from Brittany...
Problem of the day... The fan does not want to stop, even if I remove the ignition key. My battery is flat, I had to take it off to charge it. Any solution ? Where can be the problem ? Thanks. |

Two causes spring to mind. A faulty pcb (which is quite common) or a 'stuck' on relay. Both are located in the control box mounted behind the fan framework, RHS (bumper off job). If it's the pcb, talk to Frenchmike, who fixes them.
Both issues get covered regularly so worth trying the search system (but good luck with it). TC |

You can unplug the fan until fixed... car will run fine under normal driving.... air can will be pants unless over 50 mph...

It stands for Printed Circuit Board. It is an assembly of electronic components which controls the fan speed. Only the diesels have this system.

Thanks for all the answers.
My problem is that I need my car every day and I have no alternate solution. Sometimes I start at 3;30 Am in the airport 10 miles from my home... It it possible for me to remove the pcb and use my car without the fan (just to go at work?) Is the radiator switch could be faulty too ? Sending and receiving the PCB will take a long time. My last order to Rimmer took 10 days to be delivered.. What if I buy this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272733752...MakeTrack=true |

It's not the type of advice I'd want to give, but now in winter driving without stopping for 10 minutes will unlikely trigger the fan to cool down. As long as there's a flow of air coming in.
It would be safe to do so, yes. I'd do it. Keep watching the temp needle and make sure it doesn't start to rise from half way up. |

Remove the fuse to the fan for now, I doubt your engine will get up to temperature in this cool weather if you need to use the car, but as above keep your eye on the needle. Does your fan on the car have a silver resistor on it looking through the fan blades at about 14.00oclock Also check the main fan plugs on the loom inside the NS wheel arch liner, as they sometime can have water ingress which can short them to earth and the fan will run even if engine is switched off, bumper off job is best to access takes about 20 minutes.
