I have this Lexus Rx300, recently I took it to a mechanic village at trade fair Lagos and I told the mechanic to change engine fan from automatic to manual which he did and afterward I notice that my car battery visca power runs down after packing the car for like 3 days without driving.

Unlike before I can pack it for like a week without driving and it still starts after a week packed.

Please what could be the possible cause of this. Is it that the changes I made in the fan or is the car battery getting week? Should I change it or charge it?

Please I need your urgent reply. The car battery is 2years now it a follow come battery with the car.

If there is a good mechanic around Ojo Alaba, Volks or Okoko side of Lagos that can be of help can pm me please.

Ask your technician to connect the fan in a way Which the fan will not pick unless the engine start, by this the light will not come direct from the battery

diportivo:
Question is
Which one is a manual fan?
The Peugeot 505 kinda fan?

Denn:


Why did you 'rewire' your fan?

Can you kindly return the fan back to the default settings?

Evidently, your tech has done a kind of wiring that keeps the new and unnecessary fan relay energized at all times thereby sapping your battery.

You drive a Lexus...not an Iveco

By "manual" I assume you mean you by-passed the thermostat and connected the fan directly. Therefore your fan is always on.

Well you must have your reasons sha for doing that, but it does not make it right. if your car is overheating or your A/C is not cool enough you could have searched for the source of the problem and solved it rather than this direct connection thing.

The direct connection put extra strain on the battery and since your battery is "follow come" (Wet Cell type) and it has endured for two years, I think you may need to buy a new battery. (Our normal sealed type)

Still have an experienced electrician check to ensure your relays or a bridged wiring is not draining the battery.

Thanks so much I will look for an experience electrician to check and fix it right.

I know this issue started immediately I told the to connect the fan so that if I don't feel like using A. C I can drive while the fan is on without the a. C. Because initially the fan is automated such that is on immediately you put on the A. C.

I have a Toyota Rav4 2006, 2.4L engine. My question now is, is it proper to connect the engine fan in such way that when you start the engine, the fan starts immediately and the ac fan start when you put on the ac? My reason for doing this was that I discovered that the two fans start work automatically and stop at the same time and if l put on the ac when the fans are at rest, the ac fan will not start.
