Perhaps the points in one of the relays have fused closed giving constant current. The relay box is on the left in front of the shock tower. Also, scroll down to a recent post on this page by "Rainman", there's a 3rd relay controlled by the Motronic which brings the fan on.

Any ideas why the Aux fan runs all the time even without the A/C on and the engine not even reaching operating temperature?

TIA

Thanks very much for the response and the extra mile to send a Pic. Based on your input I have been able to determine that it is the high speed relay that is causing the fan to run on high all the time. Therefore, I have pulled it out until I get a repalcement ASAP!

Thanks again Gale
Monti
