Radiator fans are temperature controlled. They cut in and out to maintain the engine temperature at the optimum level where maximum efficiency is reached. Usually, the radiator fan will not start up the moment you fire up your engine.
Are radiator fans supposed to turn on and off?
The fan shouldn’t run constantly, but it is supposed to switch on at a specific temperature (the exact temperature varies from car to car, as different engines have different operating temperatures) to cool the engine down before it gets dangerously hot.
Do radiator fans stay on?
The radiator fan may run up to five minutes and sometimes longer. Unless there is an electrical issue, it may stay on all the time until it drains the battery. When the engine is running, the coolant circulates and flows to the radiator, where heat is dissipated.
