Kenlowe fan issue
 
Apologies for a novice question. I have a Kenlowe fan on my 406 fitted by the previous owner. It seems to have inverted behaviour. It comes on with the ignition (when the engine is cold) and seems to go off when the temp reaches that set on the thermostat dial, which is no use at all. Do I need to configure/reset the thermostat or is it just plugged in the wrong way?

One possibility is that an incorrect relay has been used. I assume the one needed is like the one I had in my 408 and would be described as 'Normally Open'. One that is "Normally Closed" would behave the way you describe.
