Driver Side Cooling Fan Runs Intermittently With Key Off
#1

I parked my car near my front door and kept hearing the fan kick on. I opened the hood, and it is just the driver side fan. Kicks on sometimes for only one second, other times for up to 5 seconds or so. I unplugged the fan switch, figuring I would have to replace it. I was working in the garage, and it kicked on a couple more times! Would this be a relay problem? Good news is that I probably don't have to drain the radiator and replace the fan switch now!

bad fuse connection, relay, or ballast resistor are the likely culprits

yes, tap on the relay, wiggle it, or remove and re-seat for starters.

It was the relay. I pulled the one out of my '94 and that fixed the '92. Sure is nice to have a parts car!
