My car is with Firestone right now, and I am trying to do research so I can send them information to hopefully get my car back before the heat death of the universe.

They recently replaced the Auxillary Water pump, because it had a leak. Whatever happened then, some sort of pipe got gouged against by the big fan inside the car. Then, once that was replaced, 2 days after I got it back, the AC fan stays on until the battery is dead. And as soon as there is a power source, be it another car jumping or the battery being reconnected, it goes straight back on.

My car is old, but I really want to keep it as buying a new car at this point is not a thing I can do right now, but it is starting to seem like I may just need to bite the bullet, get a loan, and try to buy a used, slightly newer car of a different model so repairs don't cost my arm and leg.

Jeez mate it’s a fan, not exactly “throw the car away” time !!

Something similar on here if you search. There's a relay for it I think, but definitely a fix for their issue.

Sounds like the fan relay is stuck. Its in the engine bay fuse panel.

She is getting old, and a lot of stuff has been replaced, it is more "It's starting to cost more than it is worth to fix now" than "I am getting rid of the car because angry".

Sent message to the techs working on my car. Let's cross our fingers and see if it works!
