    mine does similar . . . . only blows hot air regardless of where you set the temperature.

    theres a electric solenoid valve at the back right of the engine bay which had to be replaced on mine . . . . . . .

    If it's the radiator fan your talking about, it shouldn't cut in unless your engine starts to overheat!
