Rad Fan and starter problems

[Hans507]

ok basically i have two problems with the car.....but first a little bit background....my car was on jacks and w/o battery for a month.....
so when i put the battery back on everything was normal.....but when the car warmed up the rad fan turned on....as it should.....but now is always on, even when i turn off the car a get the key out....so i have to pop the hood and disconnect the fan....and yes when i connect it back its still on.....if someone could tell me whats wrong with the fan....

And the other problem is that after that first start in a long time.....now the car wont start i mean you just can hear a click from the starter but just that is very similar to the sound it makes when the battery is dead.....but i already tried 3 batteries.....and nothing.....HEEELLLLPPPPP!!!

the radiator fan running thing sounds normal. even if the key is out it CAN still run if the car is warm. even though you have tried 3 batteries, it doesnt mean that they are not dead. have you done a voltage test on them yet?? did you do anything to the car while it was on jackstands??

 

[Hans507]

i didnt do anything just took out the wheels......and the fan still running even when the car is cool.......and the batteries were ok....i even tried to jump the car.....and nothing.....

As fr the fan..sounds like a bad relay somewhere..Its stuck on..Or a Bed Temperature Sender/Swithc telling the realy to close(it thinks its hot all the time)

Yes ..the fan can run after the car is off..but only until it cools itself down.

The other problem sounds as if the starter is locked up..Try tapping on the startermotor with a wooden mallet or hammer easily and see if it frees it up.
SOmetimes after sitting this can happen.

ok i figured out the problem with the starter......it wasnt getting the 12v for cranking......it was the fuse just going out the battery.....as for the fan....if someone could tell me where the temp sender is.....cant find it

 

[ForceFed]

I would assume in the housing on the right side of the head...When standing there in front looking at it.
Is there two in there or one...anyone know?

Something tell the fan to come on...some sort of switch whether it A temp sender or through the ECU..I have never looked into it..but whatever it is..somethings not right.
Have you checked the relay yet?

 

[Hans507]

yep.....the relay is working ok....and all the fuses obviously

I had this fan problem with my old 05 mazda 6. Fan would be on all the time and got really annoying. It was a known issue. I just took it into mazda and they fixed it.

 

[Hans507]

now i discovered what the problems was.....the fan module is not working...is there any way of replacing it.....please discard the dealership cuz i dont live in the US.....

 

[Hans507]

or if someone can give me the mazda part number for the fan control module...the would be great
