alright... Before my car went into service for the 2nd dead tranny replacement.... my fan never stayed on after turning the engine off. But now... it stays on everytime after driving for like 10 minutes. is this normal??? im afraid the dealer fvcked up my car.

 

I always thought the fan was thermostatically controlled and will remain on as long as the coolant is above a certain temp, whether the car is on or off.

 

It's normal. Reason is when you shut off your car, your engine is still hot and since it's not getting cool air circulated into the engine, your fan should turn on for a bit..and should turn off when your engine gets cooler.

my car has 18000 miles now, the fan never turned on until AFTER the 2nd tranny replacement!!! WEIRD!!! I guess the car is finally working NORMAL! lolz!

 

Check your coolant. Antifreeze lines are taken off when a trans is removed...if the tech didnt top it back off...your car may be running a lil warmer thus causing your fans to run afteryou shut it off.

 

Its normal. The fan NEVER ever stayed on though for my '88 Accord and Civic, maybe they never got hot enough.

 

Older honda and acuras were notorious for forever running fans. They all shared the common component...Fan timer control unit...the usual culprit. Now fan controls are integrated into the PCM. Maybe when you had your trans put in they installed a new PCM. It is part of the tranny replacement. If the PCM has different parameters for fan control...this maybe this is where your deviation lies.
