    re: '88 1.5L HB, 215,000 kms.

    I noticed that my fan is on all the time (even from a
    cold southern Ont. morning start). I did recently swap out
    a short piece of 5/8" hose that was cracked and leaking
    and I'm sure I bled it properly. Is it the sensor then?

    Many thanks,
    Mike

    Fan switch is probably shorted.

    Locate it, and put a multimeter between the terminals. If you get
    continuity between the teminals with a cold/cool/part warm engine, that's
    your problem.

    Unplug the switch before testing (might have to break the rubber cap off it
    first).
