Re: Radiator Fan
The fan will come on even if I go out first thing in the morning (after
sitting for 10-12 hours) and turn the key on and then right back off. Don't
even have to start it. I live in Ohio and it has been in the 30's at night.
It didn't used to do this either, just since I changed the thermostat this
past weekend.

Re: Radiator Fan
You probably have a bad temp switch or bad fan timer. The temp switch might
be close to the thermostat housing or the radiator hoses, so it might have
gotten damaged by accident.
