im kinda new to this. i have a problem with my radiator fan. it works fine when the engine is running. but, the fan dont turn on when the engine is hot after the engine is turn off. i have to turn the key to the 2 position for the fan to turn on. ( thats the onlie way the fan will turn on after the engine is off, if its hot.) it dont overheat just the fan wont stay on when engine is turn off. i put new thermostate and the sensor tat onthe housing of the thermostate. flushed radiator. dont reallie know wut to do anymore. any kind of advice. thanks

I don't think it's supposed to stay on after you turn the key off, mine doesn't.

Werd; I don't think It's supposed to stay on unless you have a turbo timer or something like that and your car stays running for an extra minute or two. But as soon as my car shuts down; everything shuts down. I think you're alright man. If it's not overheating then don't worry about it... If it is overheating, then check your fluids and what not.

But I'm pretty sure you don't have any problems.
