Welcome!! If all else fails, you can install a manual on/off switch for the fan.

I looked around and from what i was finding was the sensor in the radiator tells the fan when to turn on and off, is that correct? any idea's? thanks
Did you get it fixed ??

the older sportsman's rad did clog, so def. check that out. if that is not it, I have heard of the sensor going... let us know what you find after your check the rad.

sorry haven't got a chance to get on the computer all weekend cause i had a sick horse i had to take care of which turned out to be a waste of time. well i've sprayed the fins out on the radiator and not much dirt came out at all so i'll have to talk to one of my buddies and see if he would have time to flush the radiator. does anyone know if you can ohm out the sensor to see if its good or bad? i know you can do that on cars if you know what their range is suppose to be.
