Check the AC switch and make sure it is turned all the way off.

Subject: Radiator fan won't turn off

Today while running errands in my 86 Syncro, the radiator fan turned on as
it should when the temp gauge reached about 3/4 way up the scale while I was
idling. After driving at 45 mph, the temp guage started receding back to
normal, but the fan did not turn off. It stayed on and in fact, the temp
gauge settled lower on the dial than normal. I got home, stopped the engine,
yet the fan stayed on. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop.

I waited a couple hours and the engine was back to cold and I reconnected
the battery. Unfortunately, the radiator fan turned back on.

I'm looking for suggestions as to what I should look at first. Temp sensor,
fluid levels, etc.

thanks,

Drew Jenkins
