Radiator Fans always On?
 
I recently changed my Coolant and started paying attention to everything related to it..

It seems that radiator fans are always on. I start the car, they are on, I park.. they are on.. and it's around 40 degrees in seattle..

It feels weird.. is it normal? How can I check if it's really a problem?

Temperature is always pointing at 8 (more like between 8 and 0 in 180) never overheats..

Thanks
Sasha

There is a specific procedure for (burping) the system, I believe it's in the manual, you need to leave the cap in a given position till it's bled. Anyhow if you did not follow such a procedure start there.

If you have your A/C climate control on, the fans will always be on. Turn off your a/c if you have it on, and then see if the fans are still running.

Thanks for fast replies!

I did follow the bleeding procedure from Pedro's site.
And my A/C is set to on, it's usually not kicking in (40 degrees outside and temp is set to 72)
I'll turn it off and see if the fans will stop.

Thanks
Sasha
