After starting the car, the fan will start to run continuously. the only time it doesn't run sometimes is the first time you use the car on very cold (-8C)days. After this, even if the car is off for 30 minutes and has cooled down somewhat, the fan will run when the car is started. An engine temperature sensor/relay was changed with no results.
