06 Accord rad fans running constantly
I replaced the AC in the beginning of the summer and everything was good. I just noticed that when you select upper vent or defrost on the heat controls that the rad fans run continually and the AC clutch engages steady. I'm pretty sure before the AC would cycle in and out when the defrost setting was selected and the fans would only come on when the car got hot.
The A/C compressor is running all the time as well as the cooling fans if the vent selector is on the last 3 settings (feet, feet/defrost, defrost) or if the AC is engaged. This happens even with the key just on and the car not running. I don't remember that being the case before, the fans make a lot of noise and thought I would have noticed that. I have an OBD reader that connects to my laptop, codes are as follows:
P2185 Engine Coolant Temp Sensor 2 Circuit High
P2183 Engine Coolant Temp Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance
P0128 Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temp below Thermostat Regulating Temperature)
P0128 is the code I had before when I last checked but the other 2 weren't there.
I removed the relay for the AC and fans still run as per the above.
Another probably unrelated change is the radio light no longer works(only relevant if some sort of short but thought I'd include it). ideas?
