radiator fan running......

constantly even with thermo switch wires pulled off and ignition off had to disconnect the battery to stop it ! Has anyone any ideas please its probably simple, but so am I (started not long after starting off engine not even warm )1.9 early waterboxer thanks Jack

its must have been 'hard wired in'
the feed goes through the thermo switch so if disconnected there is no circuit.

drop the spare wheel and take a look from below.

As Billy numbers say's Our's has had a 'chicken switch' fitted which means I can switch the 2nd stage rad fan on at a time I choose as well as it still being automatic and working on the sensor. Perhaps someone's done the same with yours and you've switched it on by mistake ... no extra switches on the dash ?

And look for a switch on the dash that you haven't switched on before!
Ninja'ed!

thanks for answers- it has got a chicken switch but its not that -the fan stays on either way its switched - even tried a new switch still runs on- will investigate further but I'll have to leave it till after the wk end thanks Jack

update on problem - had me baffled - took it to a mate who knows about these vans, turns out it was a relay -it had welded itself on, but it wasnt on the backside of the fuse box where they normally are - it was stuffed up above fixed to the bulkhead along with another relay (Y REG early waterboxer ) just in case anyone else has a similar problem thanks to everyone for there imput Jack
