About a month ago, I notice my cooling fan turn on, I checked the coolant level and it's low. I filled it up and the fan turn off right away. Now when I see my cooling fan turn on again, I check the cooling fluid and it's low again. I filled it up again, but now my cooling fan won't shut off. As a matter of fact, it drained my battery last night. Now I have to disconnect my battery to avoid it got drained, but I don't know why the fan keep going. Any idea?Do I need to replace my cooling fan or just a thermometer or something?Note: I just got a water pump replace, could it has anything to do with this?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hello,

It sounds like the cooling fan module is burned out which causes the fan to stay on. Here is a wiring diagram so you can see how the system works and the location of the module and how to change it out.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers
