Fans running immediately
On my wife's 1986 Acura Legend, the cooling fan AND condenser fan switch on
the instant I turn the key to the ON position. (Position II) Of course,
this is BEFORE I actually start it. Upon starting the engine, the fans
continue to run. BTW, the engine is COLD at this point. If it were still
hot, I wouldn't be posting this question. ;-) Is this happening due to a
bad relay in the fans? Or could it be a bad temperature sensor? Anything
else possible? Also, I had to pull the fuse for the condenser fan, as it is
making a horrible, loud racket. Sounds like something inside the fan's
motor is rubbing, or needs lubrication. Is this possible, or does the fan
just need to be replaced?
If anyone can answer these 2 questions, I would really appreciate it. :-)
Thanx in advance!
Jonathan
P.S. I told my wife NOT to use the A/C while the fuse for the condenser fan
is out. The radiator fan's fuse is still in place, and functioning,
although even upon cold starting, as I said above...
P.P.S. All interior controls are OFF at time of start. A/C button is NOT
pressed, inside vent fan is switched OFF, etc.
