Default Cooling Fans From HELL!!!!!

Ok so this is my problem....

The fans keeps kicking in once the car has been off for a few minutes and it keeps going, switching from low speed to high speed until it drains the battery, and when I use the key fob to lock/unlock the car, it seems to stop the fan for a couple of seconds, and then it starts again. And the fans turn off when I switch the key to the on position without turning the car on.

The car is not overheating, nor it has any heating problems, the fans work normaly once the car is on. And the temperature gauge reads normal all the time, nothing erratic or out of the normal.


I ran the Vag-Com and no codes at all



I have a 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro 5spd (8E B6) With an APR Chip and GFB BOV.



This is what I have gotten from other sites and people what it could be, but i dont know where to start or if it even applies to my car:


1. AC/Electrical Fan Relay #53 (Part# 141-951-253 B) that its staying open once the car is off.

2. Air Condition Pressure Sensor faulty

3. Thermostat Switch

4. Thermal Fan Switch

5. Cooling Temp Sensor

6. Cooling Temp State/Sender

7. Fan Control Unit/Module

Where should I start? And where are these parts and switches located in the engine/car. Or what else can it be?


Please HELP!!!

Change the relay first (cheaper part) if that doesn't fix it then change the fan control module which is what i usually have to do to fix that complaint.
