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: 'no longer there' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'no longer there' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check connections and wire continuity, still voltage' (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.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

The fan plug was still getting voltage with the relay removed.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Was working in the garage and the engine exhaust fan turned on out of the blue. Didn't touch or have key in it. 30+ hours cold. Continued to run for over an hour before unplugging it. Later in the day I plugged the fan back in and all OK. Then I opened the door and it came back on and ran until unplugged. Began trouble shooting, relay tests good. The fan plug was still getting voltage with the relay removed. To the harness...........Checked connections and wire continuity, still voltage. Unplugged harness main connector, retested, then reconnected. Suddenly, issue is no longer there. WTF?

POST 3Original post

Based on my limited experience, having 12v with the relay removed is OK. Don't know the logic for it, but apparently Porsche switches ground, so 12v is alway present.

POST 4Original post

Porsche, along with most other car manufacturers use the ground, or negative lead, for switching stuff on and off. Having a constant 12V at a particular plug such as the harness for the fan is not the problem, it is the ground or negative lead that determines whether it is on or off.

I would start there. If cheap, just replace it.
