Yesterday my first time experiencing such a problem. It happen to my wife newly bough Proton PE. I was about to close my house door and i heard the radiator fan suddendly comes on. The car key already plug out and the door have been shut and alarms activate.

it is normal..

sometimes the fan is auto run, whenever the heat detected is high the fan automatically run, usually happen to me when turn off engine the fan will run quite some time before stopping^^

Oh, it's normal? Cause it never happen on my Honda City...

my 308 VTi does this once a while. I heard that 308 Turbo does this quite often, especially if you drive it hard before stopping it.

it's normal for update proton car, the fan will running a while to cool your engine to safest temp.
don't worry it will shut-down back it-self after that.

i wish to do that to my old proton as well.. last time i googled, they connect a relay to the fusebox... but not sure which one to which one... >.<

a timer relay

YA, THIS IA original PROTON Suck design .
i met this problem . timer jammed out and fan keep on spinning
the next day , Battery fully KONG

now this ia PROTON

if this system good , why Toyota , Nissan , Honda , perodua dun have such design ..?

maybe lotus car got ..

why only happens on u? so sad,

if like that, change the timer, they install with timer for safety reason, they don't simply install it for nothing

u know??..

This means that your car's fan and its electric thermostatic switch
is connected directly to your battery, rather than IGN (ignition)
or ACC (accessories), nothing to worry about.

This is in fact better as it cools down your coolant/engine/radiator,
rather than letting too much residual heat in the system and shortening
the lifespan of your radiator, hoses, seals, gaskets, head, wiring, etc.

Unless, of course, you have a very weak battery, or one that is
about to die off on you.


The thermostat (or they call it "sensor") is just a simple bimetallic strip,
same as what you find in your household electric kettle.

On shutting down your engine after a long drive, your thermostat
detects that it is still hot and switches on the fan. If your fan/thermostat
is connected direct to your battery, obviously the fan will run even
after you have taken out your keys.

On engines where it is connected to the IGN circuit, the fan motor will
only run as long as your engine is running, or your keys are in the IGN
position.

On the Iswara's engine, it is connected to ACC, so it runs if the key
is in that position. This is what I do in fact, if the fan happens to kick
in just as I switch off the engine, I will leave it at ACC to allow it to
cool down the system as much as possible before I go off.

Or, if it happens to come on just before I am about to switch off the
engine, I will let it run in IGN and then shut down right after the fan
goes off.

lol. no need to blame lar like this, everyone know proton quality, if u had problem send to nearest SC let them brain-wash u, no need to shout and complaint to much la.

talking about toyo and honda, their use different technology, and for sure their more advance than current proton.

No man, I know pinats about wiring. If you want you contact this sifuu wireman 019-2369963 and he'll gladly do it for you. Speaks chinese only. Wires for life, wires are his life

PROTON Did install a FEW Parts For nothing
want example ?

haha... nah, no point paying someone to do... dont feel the satisfaction of diy...

ok give some...

pls dont make this thread more funnier lar..
europe car already had. why such a hassle?
even my dad's 90' pugeot 405 gtx got this feature.

and actually proton are getting improve in their technology, the only problem with protons is the wear n tear parts lifetime. other consider ok.

tap the rad fan relay to the rear brake light fuis
since our saga rad fan is control by a switch at the bottom of the rad

The Fiat 131's fan was also wired direct to the battery.

If you are concerned, just ask your wireman to rewire
the fan's positive wire to ACC or IGN.

I don't think there is any timer. It's just your thermostat
triggering it off.
