Just as the title, the fan stays on with the the keys out, managed the to run the battery flat waiting for it to stop. Any ideas what's wrong?

Mine did it a few weeks ago..Mine was a "stuck on" relay, but anotther cause can be the trinary switch is you have aircon (so I'm told)...I popped the fuse to stop it flattening my battery when the car was parked.

Yes I pulled the fuse as soon as I realised it was not going to turn off, trouble is it was on my drive for about 3 hours with the fan on while I was out. You think it might be something to do with the aircon? It was not not at the time.

Happened to me just as we arrived at Track v Road for service. It was the relay. Had both changed ..... no further problem. (Probably a German made relay).

Definitely one of the relays is stuck. Had it coming and going in my car, until I changed both relays and never did it again.

Look in Racing Green's parts website, they cost around a fiver each - Part No TVR M0643.

Thank's guys, changed the relays around and the other fan came on, so now change the relay and put the fuse back and all seems OK.
