took to VW mechanic today. He hooked up to vagcom & said he wasn't getting any faults. He then suggested I replace BOTH fans (at the tune of $700) at which point THEN he could tell me if the FCM was sending the correct signals to the fans.
suggestions????
Check for power and ground to left (large) radiator fan with test light. If power and ground to connector are ok, replace faulty fan.
SOURCE: 2004 Jetta GLS. Main cooling fan remains on after car turned off.
"Already
had replaced: both cooling fans, fan control module, coolant temp
sensor, fan switch, 4 terminal connectors. No trouble codes reported in
VW electronic diagnostic test. 2 different VW dealers and and my
mechanic threw in the towel. Any suggestions greatly appreciated."
This is a common problem with the VW..and no one has an answer WHY. (including VW mechanics)
THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE and should be implemented
