ghostly fan motor

    For some reason, and only rarely, when I shut the door on the 70 the fan motor comes on. To get it off I have to restart the car and shut it off again. It doesn't seem to matter what position the fan switch is in nor which door (drivers or pass.)kicks it off either. Also I've noticed that the fan belt starts squealing really bad when I turn the heater/air on. Has this happen to anyone else before or any ideas where to start looking? Thanks

    most likely the fan coming on is caused by either a weak spring in the fan (high) relay or that relay has some rust inside that breaks loose and shorts the contacts from the door slam impact... probably the spring.


    the squeaky belt might just need tightened or replaced .... might also be a bad bearing/dragging in your alternator.
