hey gang,

had my A/C remove recently by a reputable shop. it was fullof holes and the pulley was off-centre and making a terrible noise. the tech may have wired something wrong since both fans are always on now (when the car is running). not a bad thing in the summer, right? thing is--the weather around here has been crap lately and the daytime temperatures are barely above 65F or 17C. before i bring it back and spend more 0:00 and $.$$ on something that may not even be a problem, i thought i would throw it out here and see what you all think. it is more of an annoyance since i find the noise coming from under the bonnet to be a bit loud with both fans running. i am also thinking about premature wear on the fan motors. any insight into this would be appreciated.

has anyone ripped out their A/C?
have you experienced this problem?
is there a solution?
should i worry?

thanks and peace

How much of the AC system was ripped out?
There are 2 plugs that need to be connected for your fans to work on/off. One is at the bottom of the radiator on the passengers side. The other one is on the metal ac line by the firewall on the passengers side. I'm guessing he forgot to plug the one on the bottom of the radiator back in, and that's why your fans are on at all times.
