[DML] Re: Cooling fans won't turn off..?

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

Did it ever work correctly? Without knowing the wiring setup - is it 
oem, modified??? it is hard to say for sure what could be wrong. I 
would say there are two probable reasons the cooling fans are 
staying on that are not wiring related. Most likely - the otterstat 
is bad - the other obvious reason is the engine is staying too hot, 
from any number of causes, including the thermostat sticking/not 
functioning properly. You can check the temp of the outlet pipe and 
hose with a Laser Temp Gun. These are a great tool - you can check 
the temp of everything. Point and check the temp and you know for 
sure - right away.
