Suzuki GSXR 600 constant power to Fan fuse even with key off. Fan Kicks n at high temp, just like it's supposed to.

Although my fan cuts off when the ignition is turned off on my bike, my car fan stays on and has even switched itself on just after I have stopped and then stops later once cooler. My point is that this may be normal for your bike, just as it is in my car. I can't see a problem unless you have noticed a battery running flat. Hope that is of some help.

LG model TS-K2430hl .Outside fan stops after a few min.

Should like your unit is working fine unless this is constantly happening. If this is a constant thing then condenser coil if dirty,check thermostat setting

V65 magna was runing 2 bars on temp gauge and now it runs 5 bars

The V65 should run on 3 to 4 bars, When stop & go traffic it will run 5 or 6 unless you have installed a fan switch so you can turn the fan on, If it ever hit 7 shut it down but 4 should be right on the right temp, I have never seen a V65 run only 2 bars, Something was not right causing this.

Hi all my problem is after 20 minutes the screens goes blue ps3 shuts down seems like overheating

If the fan doesn't change in RPM (listen to the sound of the fan). If the RPM don't change then you probably need to do a system restore. Make sure to back up your system so you Don't loose everything. If it is the fan they are very easy to replace, I can help with that. Let me know.

When I turn on my ps3 the fan runs for a few seconds then shuts off along with the green light.

It seems as a hardware problem, if you still have warranty you should contact SONY and they will replace your PS3 with a new one. Otherwise, you can try opening it and cleaning the fan if you feel comfortable with this or have an expert open it if you don't.Philip

My air conditioner won't stop running. The fan won't stop on the upstairs unit unless we remove the thermostat from the wall. The condenser runs constantly. It does cool when the thermostat is plugged...

Does the compressor also run constantly? If it does, the problem with the outside unit may be a stuck contactor. You can remove the cover where the power goes into the outside unit and the contactor should be located near there. If it is stuck, turn off the power to the outside unit and tap the contactor to try to free it, depending on how bad the contacts look, or replace the contactor. As for the indoor fan, you could have a bad fan relay, if that is what your unit has, or a bad fan sequencer, which is what some units use. These components will be located in the air handler. Hope this helps. Let me know what you find if this doesn't help and I can offer more advice based on that.

My fan is on constantly 2mins after switching on

unfortunately the PS3 fan is a bit noisy, unless you have the slim version. I wouldn't say it is a problem, mine does the same since i bought it.

My ps3 wont turn on

If the PLAYSTATION 3 feels extremely hot or the system will power off and the power light will flash, this could be an indicator there is a temperature issue with the PLAYSTATION 3 and it is not able to keep the system cool. Please attempt the following troubleshooting steps.
  • Remove any obstructions from the vents.
  • Allow at least 4 inches of clearance on all sides for the PLAYSTATION 3.
  • Remove the PLAYSTATION 3 from any cabinets so it is out in the open.
  • Shut the PLAYSTATION 3 down completely and let it cool down to room temperature, then try running it again.
  • If the fan cannot be heard before the system shut down, the PLAYSTATION 3 may need to be sent in for service.
  • If there is no airflow from any of the vents, the system may need to be sent in for service.
