Asked by Nick Aug 26, 2012 at 10:21 PM about the 2012 Honda Accord LX-P

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The fan starts up and i didn't even touch anything. It's been going on for a while now. My dad took it to the dealer to have it
looked but the guy there did the wrong thing, he checked the temperature. If anyone can help that'd be great.

The fan is automatic and will continue run even if car is off to further cool the car down

If the vehicle hasn't been drivin for a while(cold vehicle) and the fan comes on automatically, its electrical. Bad fan, fan relay, wire, or something within that circuit is faulty. Check the schematics diagram and see what else is connected within this circuit.
