    I have a 2006 W-9 with a C15 and just a little while ago I took her in to get her washed. I got my engine washed & left. Now my fan won't shut off! Already checked the air line & have no air leaks. Engine fan switch is off & so is the A.C. Need help.

    If that doesn't fix it do the same to the a/c high pressure switch.

    I might be wrong here but if I remember correctly they use air to turn them off instead of on like they used to.

    That's the way both our CAT motors are.

    I had this problem a couple yrs back. Turned out to be the plug for the AC High Pressure switch.

    Unplug your ac sensor switch up by the radiator and dry it off then plug it back in

    Never, never, never pressure wash an engine. That 3000psi drives water and dirt in through gaskets, electrical connections and other places you don't want it to be.
