[DML] Re: Fans go on with ignition key...

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is "not a good thing" to have the fans run constantly. You will
overheat the wiring and prematurely wear out the fan motors. The
otterstadt switch should only turn the fans on when the coolant gets
hot enough and then with the fans running it should quickly cool the
coolant enough for the fans to shut off for a while. This is very
dependant on the ambient temperature. Even when you turn on the A/C,
the fans are supposed to cycle on and off when the compressor cycles
on and off.
