unwelcome fan - volvo 480 - barney100
My wives volvo 480 has an engine cooling fan which continues going well after the engine has stopped: in fact it has recently run the battery flat. Any ideas?

Sound like a dodgy thermo switch.

Is it the Turbo model?

I remember back in the late 80s and early 90s things like Saab Turbos and Renault 5 Turbos used to have electric fans that stayed on for ages after the engine turned off. If was still on 20 minutes later I would be concerned.
