sorry chaps its a 93,ive noticed a number of switches on flea bay,any idea of part no,as there are a couple on there that apparently cover this model,but with different part numbers cheers

if the ignition is off, it means the after run circuit is running the fan on #1 speed.

Usually a relay, the resistor, wiring or the sender for the after run

yes, the fan switch only works with the ignition on.

Had this happen on my S2 - was the relay on that occasion.

should have explained,that when the ignition is on the fan runs full on constantly

Usually one in the fusebox and one (after run) under the dash on the drivers side
