Report: Failed Cooling Fan Module May Cause Fan to Run Constantly or Not At All

Mazda MPV Problem

The cooling fan module can fail causing the fan to either run constantly, or not operate at all. If the fan runs continuously, the engine may not warm up properly, and if the fan does not run, the engine may overheat. Mazda has a voluntary recall on model years 2002-2003 to address this concern.

    Fan runs from the turn of the key at erratic sppeds, mostly high, right until i shut the car. Car at the time has no a/c on or is in danger of overheating

    Fan ran constantly; local mechanic fixed fairly easily (approx. $130 as I recall)

    The fan continues to run even after the car is shut off and all the while it is running. This has drained the battery on many occasions. I figured out a trick to get it to shut off though. When turning the ignition off, if it stays running, just flick the ignition back on, but no so far as to start the car, and then back off. This usually does the trick. There is a recall I found, http://www.mpvclub.com/recalls.php?id=16 that may apply to your vehicle. Don't take no for an answer from your local Mazda dealer/repair center. This is a defect and should be taken care of by them.
