Mechanic still says there is nothing wrong....
He looked a the car today, says that after-run switch on the back of the
head could be the culprit, but recommends not changing it unless the
incident happens again. After-run circuit can be disabled by pulling a wire
on this switch.
His contention is that the after-run switch is programmed to run the
radiator fans for 15 minutes max. I wasn't in the grocery store that long,
so even if it had run full speed for 8-10 minutes, that should not have
brought the battery down.
What do you guys think?

Re: Mechanic still says there is nothing wrong....
Depends on the battery condition, fully charged before the incident and a
good battery, charging system, etc.
If the battery was in good condition with a full charge............then the
vehicle should probably have started after 15 minutes. That is a powerful
fan though!
Has this happened since?

Re: Mechanic still says there is nothing wrong....
The after run should run at fan speed one which is much less draw than
speeds two or three. Still if it is acting up there may be other issues
with it.
It seems like a good evaluation by your mechanic.
