fan not turning off

[tintedinfluence]

After ignition is off, the fan for the heat/ac is still running. I get out and lock the car and still can hear the fan running. I figured it was just circulating air so i let it do its thing. Come back about an hr later and its still running. Thoughts, fixes? I looked for the diy and couldnt find one unless i just missed it. I cldnt find a fuse. But then again idk where fuse 76.

I had a similar problem a while back. Could be FSU (Final Stage Unit). If you start to notice battery dying down and/or heater go way high, that is likely to be a clear indication of FSU.
(then again that was my experience)

+1. Common failure.

I had read that on one of the diy's but it was for fluxuating fan speeds. Its like 50$ for the newer fsu correct? I know there is a fiy for replacong it just need to find it again. And yes it drained the batt completely. Cldnt even open the trunk. So i used the jumper box to start it and let it charge itself.

There are several failure modes for the FSU, which is more like $100, IIRC. Be sure to get the upgrade, which has 39 sharp spikes on the heat sink. Best place is the dealer to ensure the correct part.


"Cldnt even open the trunk."

Study your owner's manual - the trunk can be opened manually with the master key.

Somewhere along the like the man was misplaced. There is a way i know by turning it clockwise but i wasnt sure if my trunk was just frozen shut or if the man unlock wasny working properly so i didnt mess with it at the time. It was neg 15 at the time so i wasnt all to excited about being outside in the first place. Haha
