Tonight when I put my Mini in the garage everything was normal, then I opened the hatch to retrieve some items and slammed it. Just then the engine cooling fan came on!!! I waited 30 seconds or so to see what happened and nothing did, so I started the car and shut it off and the fan shut off also and it did NOT happen again after I repeated the hatch opening as I had just done. It was 113 degrees so could the car think it was hot??? Electrical problem??? Dunno...anyone had this problem

Thanks a million

Hondas I used to own before used to trigger the engine cooling fan after the car was parked and shut off. 113F in dry desert heat is pretty demanding on any car. I would not worry about it, really.

By the way, did all your CVT issues were taken care of? Did you get 33.2?

I did get 33.2 and 34 soon I have still a slight yoyo problem at take offthat I understand they are still trying to correct.

I also got a new steering column and new throttle a second gear shift boot a new pillar and FREE top to ottom detail for my troubles

Think the fan just came on because the car was hot. A lot of cars do this when you turn the engine off/come to a stop as there is no air being forced in to help cool it.
