Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'sensor is u/s' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'sensor is u/s' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check motor' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion · Original poster
I can try a short to check the motor but is the sensor easy to find?

Suggestion · Original poster
I have never heard my lid fan running so,after a long drive and a hot engine I expected it to run on a while after stopping.

Suggestion
my fan has been running regularly after shutting off during the summer, but only for 5-10 minutes.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Mr P says:
After-running of engine compartment fan
If the ignition is switched off and the engine compartment temperature is more than 60°C, the DME control module remains in readiness for another 20 minutes. During this time, the engine compartment temperature is retrieved every 10 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is >85°C, the engine compartment fan is switched on for 20 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is still >85°C after this time, the fan remains on for a further 30 seconds.
He hasn't got that one of you and that sheep. I have.
If you want it back, and all the preliminary etchings, you need to leave £2k in a brown paper bag in the dustbin on Platform 11 at Waterloo Station. Next Tuesday, 12:00 noon.
Don't be late. :bandit:
oh, PS - "I can resist everything but temptation.... " - yeah, don't I know it! :hand:
Just because the one of you and the Donkey was out of focus...and then that pineapple :floor:
To prevent thread hijack.... my fan has been running regularly after shutting off during the summer, but only for 5-10 minutes. Very rare it comes on while you're on the move. Only if it runs on and on should you be concerned. Next time it happens, pop the hood to cool the bay down quicker, the fan shouldn't stay on for much longer.
Seeing as the fan is only dealing with engine bay heat, you may well have an overheat situation rather than a fan problem. What's the temp gauge saying?
Good luck squire, hope it's ok
I have never heard my lid fan running so,after a long drive and a hot engine I expected it to run on a while after stopping. Nothing.
I found the sensor and warmed it with a hairdryer-nothing.
Applied a supply and earth to the fan- fine it runs
Put a short across the sensor-fine.
I suspect the sensor is u/s.
Temp is running at close to 93(digital readout display)
If you know an indy who can plug in a Porsche tester, they will be able to read the engine comartment temperature from the sensor. It should show if it is working or not.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
