RE: IML: Radiator Fan Malfunction?

["Mark Swingle" <mark.swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is the relay that's the problem.  The relay is the only way to get power
into the system with the key off.

A bad coolant sensor could either make the fan come on anytime the key is on
or keep it from coming on, but the failed sensor won't make the fan run with
the key off.  At least that's the way the 90's Imperial's are wired.

Test the sensor that turns the relay on.

Well, I think it's not the relay. I found the bank and promptly proceeded to
replace the one designated for the fans. When I removed the one that was
there, the fans stopped. When I put the other one in, the fans started right
away. That was after the fans completely drained the battery tonight. Half
an hour of walk under the rain to get back home, pick the van and jump the
Imperial...
