Once the car reached the correct temperature (needle in the middle) the radiator fan goes on every ten seconds, works for eighteen seconds and then it shuts off. This cycle repeats all over. Is this normal? I did this test while the car was parked.

Hello, I'm Danny,

Yes, that is normal. Did you happen to have all accessories including the A/C turned on as well? Let us know and we''ll help determine if there is a problem. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
