[DML] Re: Cooling fans won't turn off..?

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You didn't mention the radiator itself.

What kind of tap water do you have down there? If it has a lot of
minerals in it, and if you've been running it in the cooling system,
your radiator could well be stopped up. Examine the spring on your
thermostat -- if it's caked with mineral deposits, your radiator most
likely is too.

Another possibility is various "stop-up" products (Barr's Leak, etc).
Radiator passages are tiny. Doesn't take much of that garbage to clog
them. If you've been running it to deal with leaking side channels or
other ills, is time for a new radiator.
