ECU kaput?

if the fan can still work, my friend did is wire a switch to keep the fan always on.
check your relays too.

This is just a short term temporary solution. There are consequences :

1. Fan running at full speed speed at all times will wear down the lifespan of the fan motor much faster.
2. All petrol engines has an optimal operation temperature of ~85C . Before hitting tht temperature, most modern cars will run their fuel mixture very rich. Therefore, all cars will try to get to that temperature as fast as possible to reduce fuel consumption and the engine lean down the fuel mixture once hitting optimal operation temperature. .So if u put the fan running at full speed all the time, it will make the engine warm up slower.. more maKan minyak. This is just like many ppl go remove the thermostat when it got jammed rather than replace it.
