Cooling fan help
My fans turn on quiet often and its kinda annoying. At first I thought it might be normal and then i saw I had low coolant so i filled it up. Then it was in the middle of the night and it was cold outside and i started up the car and then like a minute later the fan came on. Now thats telling me something is wrong and it just keeps turning on. There is no reason it should have came on if its cold outside and i just startd the car. Can someone help me out. I thought it might be the thermostat but not sure. Please help and fellow TLer in need. thanks

The fan on the TL does run alot. Its fairly normal. Also if you have the Defrost on it turns the AC on and that causes it to run the 2nd fan on very short cycles

Bad coolant fan switch or
Need to burp the cooling system since you said it was low on coolant.
A bad themostat will make it overheat, while the fan is on or not.
