Fan problem

[alwaysurfing001]

Hi all, what does this mean?
Fan connection shorted by piece of wire for both 1 & 2:
1. ignition on - engine not running - fans running as would be expected
2. engine running and fans stop after a moment...?????

Sorry is already covered somewhere - did read dozens of posts....

How can this be..?

Knackered otter switch? I had something similar, I have an overide switch on mine and when otter failed and I ran on overide with fans on, if I switched engine off and then turned it back on fans didn't run till I turned fan switch off and back on. Now replaced otter and all working normally!

I have the wires disconnected from the otter switch and shorted together.
With engine off ignition on the fans run but with engine running the fans stop - its most odd as I would have thought electrically ignition on with or without engine running would be the same.....

Dodgy fan relay? Sorry, not sure where it is...

Waldenway have changed the Otter switch bled and topped up the coolant - all for 68 squidlies.

Just need to give it a nice slow drive on a nice hot day through a town centre to see if its really fixed......
