My 2003 Outlander's (electric) condenser fan stays on after turning the
vehicle off. I realize that if it's very hot outside, the fan may run
for a few seconds after turning the engine off, but this happens
everytime, even in cool weather or after very short drives. Now it is
also cycling erratically. Does anyone know what switch or relay would
control that and if it is easy enough to replace without having to take
it into a shop?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Most likely the temperature switch at the bottom of the radiator. This
controls the fan relay. Could also be the ralya itself. What happens is the
contacts arc (usually on vehicles older than yours because the fan is
drawing excessive current) and then stick together.

Mike ,

Theres an ongoing recall for the fan ecu in Canada , im not sure if this
recall applies to your vehicle but it might be wise to get it checked out .
I dont have specific details of the reason for the recall , but i believe
the control units are burning out , possibly caused by fans running all the
time .

Thanks Jeff, I'll contact the local dealer here.
