bazz780 0 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 hey guys MERRY XMAS, i was just looking at the engine today and found this part unplugged, when i plugged the clip back in - the part seemed to be buzzing even after the car was switched off. The minute I plug it in the buzzing sound starts again.it is located next to the coilpack.help appreciated - thanks !dodge Link to post Share on other sites

mightyvr6 0 Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I think it may continue to run when the ignition is off if the engine is over a certain temperature. Link to post Share on other sites

MrBen 0 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 What's worrying is why it's been unplugged! The point of it is to keep the water circulating after switch off to help cool the engine. If it's been unplugged, just hope the previous owner was cooling the engine carefully before switching off!
