Hi Sasi,
Sounds like the mechanic may have wired the fan to go on when car ignition
is on, and not to the temp switch, which should control the fan according to
engine temp.
The fans should run until the temp sensor tells it to stop - even with the
ignition off and the key removed. Since they come on at start up - and
don't shut off at all - they sound like the wiring is bypassing the temp
switch and giving it power when the ignition is on.
This is most commonly done right at the temp switch wiring plug (at the
radiator usually) and a simple jumper wire is used to give the fan full
power. This is a good temp work around when the sensor fails - and it isn't
engaging the fan at all.
Hope that helps!
Rabin

Subject: [Peugeot-L] Advice on 405 Radiator Fans again
I just wanted to know if in the 405 GLD, once the temperature rises
enough (70 degrees celsius) for the fans to come on and if you shut
the car, do the fans remain automatically on till the temp drops below
70degrees? In my earlier 309 GLD, they would remain on till the temp
drops. However, in my 405 GLD, they stop when you shut the ignition
off and restart again once the key is turned, even if the car has been
standing around for 2 hours or so. Please do keep in mind that I am
talking of Indian Summer where, as of now the temp has reached 38
degrees already. If they are to remain on, that means there is some
Onproblem in my car, if not, then I guess its OK. Advice please....
thank you..
