2006 JETTA COOLING FAN ISSUE

[p930man]

I am having a cooling fan issue that has me perplexed. The fan remains running after the car is shut off. It started as intermittent but now is
common. The car is not over heating she is running at normal temperatures. She normally will shut off after about 30 seconds, now she just stays
running for potentially hours. I am now having to disconnect the battery to prevent the battery from running down. I am suspicious that maybe the
temperature sensor may be bad but actually don't really have a clue. I am hoping that someone has addressed this issue before and can help.

The fan controller died, replace the large fan.

That doesn't sound cheap!! I am thinking I put in a different fan in her in the past. Might have some southern engineering going on
too. I was having some AC issues in the past and some Shade Tree Mechanizing probably occurred.

$70 on rockauto. Not too bad.

Rx, Buddy I have been looking at the duel fan assemblies on Amazon, I am not sure if they have the controller or not. or is this separate.
The one I m looking at is about 110$ . The fan has totally quite working now so I have to pull the trigger on something. Again, the AC has quite cooling
but she still is running normal operating temp. Looked up on rock auto and i see where the sell a fan controller for about 100$ Do I need both? I m
confused now. P

The fan controller is built into the larger fan. So when you replace the large fan you replace the controller. The Amazon fans are probably from china but they will work for awhile.

Thanks Buddy, ordered her last night. Just developed a new issue. The key doesn't extract from the ignition. I must have pissed someone off. Actually
have seen this issue before, believe it's a mechanical issue with the stearing lock and the transmission shifter. Darn when it rains it pours. lol
