Electric fan turning on and off constantly
like the title says the fan will turn on... click off. wait about 20 seconds then it will turn back on and instantly turn off.. its just really annoying.. it does not matter if i have my ac on or my heat on.. or if im driving or sitting still it.. it also runs right at 210.... any sugestion of what it might be?

There are 5 positions on the vent selector that engage a/c. Efan is on when a/c compressor is engaged. On/off cycling could mean low refrigerant.

Might want to verify coolant temp, the CTS (as suggested), fuse/relay/something electrical, etc. 218 coolant temp or compressor engaged are the 2 criteria that turn the efan on when all is functioning correctly.

When u say "even if it's on heat" is not clear. Heat is way more powerful than a/c. There are 5 vent selector positions that engage the compressor, which engages the efan. If the heat selector **** is turned to the red (hot), the compressor (and efan) can still be on but u feel heat, not cool. Just saying make sure the vent selector is not set in one of the 5 positions that engages the compressor.

Are you referring to turning the blower off or turning the whole system off. Turning the blower fan off doesnt turn off your heat and ac.
your compressor will run on any of the ac modes, or both of your defroster modes.
So the question still remains. Are you running with your defrosters or ac on?
