Fan starts running when shut off?

Re: Fan starts running when shut off?
I know my old metro did the same thing. I wonder if it has any relation to aluminum engines? Seems like the electric fan was put into production about the same time as aluminum engines were
I think my wifes 4cyl accord does the same thing too.

Is it all civics or just HCH?

In the old days, when engines used to overheat more, stopping and turning off a hot engine would immediately stop the belt-driven fan and could easily cause the radiator to boil over.

I've had several front wheel drive cars with electric fans, and they only turned on when the vehicle was shut off in pretty hot weather when using the A/C usaully. But the HCH turns on almost everytime (40 degrees out even)

Ok! Here's an opposite problem. My radiator fan USE to keep going for a few minutes when I shut off the car. It has not done that now for about 4 months? Does anyone know if I blew a fuse or something? The car runs just fine and doesn't even come close to overheating.
