Radiator Fan On Constantly 91 4Runner
Hey Guys,
I haven't been on this forum for a long time, seeing that I was busy with school mostly.
I've gotten most of my 4Runner's problems fixed (see previous posts). However, one thing that occurred which is bothering me at this moment.
Last weekend, I noticed that my 4Runner was leaking a significant amount of coolant. I took my 4Runner to the mechanic, and he repaired it. The mechanic said he also repaired the belt as well.
When I took back the car, and turned on the engine, I noticed that the main radiator fan (white and plastic) kept on rotating , even from a cold start. In fact, its now always on and turning (no matter if I start the car, or drive it for a couple of minutes or hours)
I never noticed this before - I thought the radiator fan kicked in only when the engine reached a certain temperature. I'm pretty certain that before my car went in for the repair, the radiator fan remained motionless until I drove it for a couple of kilometers.
Is this a problem of the mechanic? Or is this normal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
