Title: air con fan
Post by: kron2k on August 14, 2014, 10:46:24 AM
hi all

I've just had my air con repaired, does anybody know should my air con fan switch off when I turn off my engine or should it continue to run, I'd like to know coz I've had issues with the battery running flat lately and I don't want to kill another battery.

cheers

kieron

I wouldn't expect it to run on once you've switched off the ignition though I may be wrong. However, take a read of this (https://www.fordmpv.com/smf2/ford-galaxy/coolant-fans-sometimes-run-after-ignition-off-and-drains-battery/) thread- somebody else with a 2.3 petrol and a similar problem!
