I'll try to keep this short. Using the oBD scanner, code is p0480...cooling fan 1 control circuit.
Is this the big white fan behind the radiator?
The fan comes on after a couple minutes of driving. After unplugging and plugging it in, and five engine starts the CEL goes away, but comes back on the next start. Then, the radio went crazy. It was changing channels constantly on it,s own...not kidding. I disconnected the neg term in the trunk and when connected, the radio went back to normal and cel was gone again. On the next start, cel was back. I know the short answer is take it in, but I'm past 36,000 miles. Trying to fix it myself. Any ideas? Is the cooling fan working correctly, it never gets close to overheating...not yet...
Thanks
