Default Radiator fan Won't Shut Off

Went to start the car yesterday morning .....battery dead. Jump started it without any problems. When I got back home and I noticed that the radiator fan was blowing and did not stop for over 1 hour. Called the dealership.....tried the fuse box.....then finally disconnected the battery. Unfortunately, can't get it serviced until the holidays are over. Has anyone else heard anything about this? I also noticed that there has always been a quiet hissing sound out of the bose speakers even when the ignition is off. I have noticed the hiss ever since day 1. My car is was just delivered 2 weeks ago and I was hoping that these bugs would have benn worked out.

Default Wonder if it's the same radiator relay module that the S4 has problems with.

My fan did the same thing, ran until the battery died. Dealer had to replace that module.

Default I also hear a slight hiss coming from the speakers when the ignition is off.

With all the snow here in Denver I haven't driven my car for almost a week so now I'm wondering if it's going to start ok.

That's normal - the amplifier doesn't switch off until you lock the car.

So if I never lock my car (in the garage) does the amp always stay on ?

No - it times out after something like 30 minutes.

Default Thanks. Haven't driven the car in a week and with another big storm coming in to Denver it may be

a bit longer!

Default Mine died on a Friday so I didn't get my car back until Mon

They had to order the part. So if you went on a weekday they should have it the next day.

Default gotta pay extra for that.
