As of today, I have noticed a sound under the hood that sounds like a fan blowing. When I lifted the hood, I can even feel wind blowing. I suspect that this is a cooling mechanism. I just never noticed it before. However, it is somewhat loud and is running continuoulsy. My gauges are registering that all is ok. No overheating. No warning lights.
What might this be?

Most likely it's ur fan relay is stuck closed causing the to run all the time most common cause for that. With the fan running when the engine is cold open the hood look over by the there will be a black rectangler box on a bracket that holds the battery down. That's ur relay take a large screwdriver use the handle tap that on the top of the relay don't go crazy and break the really if the fan stops running bad relay. Let me know what u find also donations and feedback greatly appreachiated.
