Fans Not Stop

[KrostySpecB]

sorry for my bad english

 

I have a problem with my legacy 3.0R, the fans do not stop working, even with the car cold, I give it contact and they turn on immediately. There is no error code with scanner, I hope you can help me.

 

greetings from Chile

Could be the relay is stuck closed. check in your fuse box to find which relay runs the fans. Occasionally you can unstick them with a few light wacks from a screwdriver or something. ultimately you'd want to replace it but it COULD possibly let you know if that is the problem.

I had this problem with my 2005 LGT. Of course my car has a 4 cylinder engine and there are a lot of differences. There was a manufacturers recall which involved replacing the Electronic Control Module and the relays which control he fans. You might do well to contact the Subaru distributor in Chile and see if they did a recall to solve the problem.

I do have some bad news. The ECM is usually not on the dealer's shelf. Its value is probably close to $1000 USD and dealers won't invest in an expensive part which might sit around forever. If the dealer will replace the ECM make sure you bring ALL the keys for the car so the dealer will "reflash" all of them so they work with the new "brain" in your car. Good luck.

 

Where are you from? I visited Santiago, Valparaiso, Irica and Iquique. You have some great wine and seafood in Chile. Since my next stops were Paraguay and Uruguay I was told to enjoy the fish in Chile. Nobody eats anything that swims in those countries!

unfortunately in Chile there was no campaign to change the relay or the ECM. Could it be the thermostat or radiator problem? i am very worried it is my first subaru and first i had avcs solenoid problem and now this.

I remember one day at lunch having tuna from Easter Island. Incredible. I asked if the tuna was exported to the United States. My host thought for a moment then said "Sorry, we only have enough for Chile."
