My Camry was in a small fender bender that basically ruined the hood and the A/C condenser and receiver. Those items were replaced and the car repaired. The issue I have with it now, is that the Radiator fan comes on when you turn the key to the on position and just runs continuously if the car is warm or cold, the a/c is on or not.. it just runs all the time. This does not allow the car to warm up at all. The fan is plugged into the regular cord designed for it. Any suggestions?

Hi there,

The fan sensor well may be faulty often if they fail the fan is on as a precaution against over heating, get this checked first.
