Hey guys,
Recently I have noticed that my fan comes on after shutting off the car.

It happens on occasion and not everytime the car is shutoff. I filled the coolant about two months ago, as it was completely empty. The car doesn't seem to overheat, at least according to the temp gauge, so I'm not sure what else to do or look for. If anyone has any idea's or solutions please let me know. Thanks!

This is for a '93 Prelude vtec btw.

 

i read in the hondamanual that "when working on the car, be sure to disconnect the negative battery cable for the cooling fan may activate when the car is off"
from what i know nothign is wrong
but check w/ the veteran luders to be sure

i'd say just make sure your coolant is filled still

 

Congrats, your fan works properly.

 

mine does the same thing. I think it might jus be the relay. but i could be wrong :hsdunno:

 

Yes, it is good news to hear the fan working however, it seems to come on alot and I don't feel this is "normal" as I have owned the car for over two years and it has never done this.

I will check the coolant again and see what's going on.
Thanks all.

 

mine happened alot too.. i disconnected my AC cable, and the fan stopped comin on after the car was off

 

Mine does it sometimes, I thought it was only if it was still too hot and needed to cool down, that the fan would remain on (at those times, only.. if they remain on right after you turn off after a cold start on a snowy day, then you probably got some issues =P)

its normal for certain prelude models to do that. i had an 88 si that would do that, in the owners manual i think it was called "sport cooling" system.

 

My accord does the same thing and it is normal for the fans to run after the car is shut down, but mine is very excessive and will run for hours at a time after the car is shut down.
