89 audi 100, fan problems
 

Ok, My 89 audi is having some probelms. I think it was yesterday, i
pulled into my driveway after work and noticed the fan, the one right
behind the radiator, wasn't stopping. I figured that it would stop
within 5-10 minutes. I came back out 15 minutes later and the fan was
still running. I started my vehicle to make sure the battery wouldn't
die, and then turned off my car again. Once again i waited for another
15 minutes, with the car off, but the fan kept on runnning. So now
whenever i want to drive my car i have to pull the battery so the fan
will stop. Please any ideas will help.

Thank you,
Jimmie

Fan switch is stuck. I can't remember if it has a seperate switch or
whether it's done through the tmeprature sender, but look down on the
radiator and see if you can find an item with two wires leading to it.
Unplug it and the fan should stop.

If that doesn't work, it's probably a stuck relay - have a look at the
relay listing panel and see if there's one that does the fan. Tap it a
few times to see if it unsticks.

it look like a light switch or a toggle switch?

It won't look like a switch at all. It'll be a fitting on the side of
the radiator. In general it'll look something like this...

but of course, they're all different! You should be able to unplug it.
If that doesn't stop then fan then start chasing the relay.
