That"s what I thought but just wanted to make sure.
Is that I have a problem with engine cooling fan on my 2000 S40. It never comes on! I have not experienced an overheating problem,but I only have been driving short trips lately with this car.
I noticed it yesterday as I experienced a strange incident the day before. Drove the car for some 4 miles with A/C and radio on in slow traffic and 2 hours later the battery was dead. Few days before my wife drove the car for 40 miles in heavy traffic with A/C and radio on and some lights came on in dash as she reached destination. Drove back some 4 hrs later no problem.
So after what happened yesterday,I jumped it ,came home and charged overnight. Checked it this morning,normal,did Load test with a friend got a 14.2 volt reading,charging ok.
Just before I was ready to do a drain battery test I discover the cooling fan not working. Got the other car a 2004 S40 put them face to face,started both and the 2004 had cooling fan running some 7 min later. The "problematic" 2000 never got it going for some 15 min!
Something is wrong with this one! I understand there is a fuse for it that I didnt check yet. But do you think the problem with fan could have caused the battery drain?
Sorry for lenght of story,but wanted to be as precise as possible. Tks for yr input
