X-type Jag.
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the car starts. It runs extra-fast for a few minutes until the car warms up, then it sort of downshifts to a lower speed.
Stays on while the car is operating, shuts off when car is turned off. Operating temperatures are normal, not high.
I realize it's better to have this running than not at all, but it just runs all of the time when it didn't before. Prior to this it only engaged in stop & go traffic, and even then it was rare.
My guess is there is a stuck relay or thermostat, but I'd like to know a bit more about it. If it's a relay, perhaps I can avoid the dealer.
Any ideas? Thank you!
