Any guesses on what it could be? Or what I could look for?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Much better permanently on than not on at all.
Have you got more than the "High / Low" temperature gauge?
Worst case scenario is to nurse it into the next available pit stop and get someone in the know to take a look.
Older vehicles the fan was run by a thermistor (or the like) somewhere on the block, but I think you'll find that the newer vehicles have everything going in and out of computers. Makes it a little harder to track down a basic fault. This is why I'd suggest getting someone to take a look.
