  • In this video I explain why your radiator cooling fan keeps running and won't turn off after shutting off the engine. It is normal for the fan to keep running for 30 seconds when the vehicle is turned off. However, if the fan runs more than 5 minutes the problem could be something else.

    Hi
    I have 2011 Toyota highlander limited edition. I have problem with air conditioner, it doesn’t blow cold air in a slow speed, when you stuck in traffic or idle,
    The pressure is perfect, it blows cold air when car is drinking normal.
    I took it to a few mechanics and they keep saying you need to add refrigerant.
    I know a little about hvac for he but not for cars.
    Please let me know what can i do.
    I don’t want to take it to the dealer before i talk to you
    I am in Maryland, i wish you were closer
    Thanks for your help

    • @Top5AutoRepairs
      @Top5AutoRepairs  Місяць тому

      It's definitely not normal. The fan should run no more than 5 minutes. It also depends on outdoor temperature. The fan may run a little bit longer.

    I removed the fuse 40 amp and replaced it did not work, I replaced the relay it did work until I went for a drive and it kept running when I turned off the engine. I have to check the wire diagram I hope it's not the wire.

      The same thing happens in my wife's CRV.
      My mechanic told me the issue is the fans. The car has TWO fans. One is supposed to always be on when the car is running. The second one is supposed to turn on when the AC is on.
      However, if that second fan won't turn on (bad motor maybe) then the car will only cool down when the air is blowing through the front.
      So basically, replace the fan.
