Over the years my non-Triumphs in the forms of a Simca 1308, Renault Clio, Citroen Xantia (x2) have 
all had O.E. electric fans (pullers) that would run on after the engine was switched off and the key 
removed. None of them ran for more than a minute in total and occasionally would operate a second or 
third time. I don't ever remember a flat battery and the reason they ran is exactly as described by 
Mike Porter. The UK is hardly a hot climate, yet two of my friends have Triumphs with fans direct 
wired via a 'hot' switch and these too operate in the summer after engine switch off. What's the 
problem?
