I've got a 2003 Zetec 1.6 where the cooling fan is always on if you have the internal heating/cooler positioned to point just on the windscreen. This seems to be the opposite of a couple of other postings here where the cooling fan doesn't come on at all when idling.
The local Ford dealer says that this is a known "feature" of this model car - but still went on to swap out the PCM chip, without remedying the problem. The temperature gauge doesn't indicate the engine is in need of cooling down, the fan just switches itself on. If you position the blowers to be off the windscreen then the cooling fan clicks off.
Is this really a feature of the Focus or am I having hot air blown up my kilt?
