Re: [DMCForum] hot start/electrical problem - John Hervey please help

Lauren,
If you are using a FanFix, Fanzilla, blue fan fail module or jumpers, they 
are all triggered the same way. In your case what probably happened was the 
coolant was hot enough to trigger the fans to turn on. When you turned off 
the car, the hot coolant stopped circulating. Since you only let the car 
sit for 5 minutes, the coolant was still hot enough to trigger the 
outerstat and the fans turned back on during starting.

It doesn't surprise me that the car had trouble starting as it takes a lot 
of power to run both fans and the starter. Your best bet would be to let 
the car sit longer if you turned it off with the fans running. If they 
weren't running when you turn off the car, the coolant won't get hotter and 
the fans should remain off when starting.
