Sigh, this will be asked until the end of time.

I am having the same issue but I have a 2005 and that post looks to only be good for 2003-2004?

It appears that way, but the problem occurs across all years.

Also I have a cp-e intake, aftermaket stereo, and viper alarm. Do you think any of that they will try to blame?

The question isnt wether your mods actually had any effect on it, its sometimes HOW the tech can blame it on your mods.

Just to be on the safe side, I would un-install the CP-E intake when taking it in. I wouldnt worry about the stereo or alarm..... also make sure to print out the recall and take it with you.

Did the intake cause this problem, probably not, but can the tech attempt to blame it on the intake, probably. Always err on the safe side.

well dropped my car off to get this replaced as with the throttle body because I have an AB one

got mine replaced last week also, fan module... they said nothing about remote start under the hood...

This happend to me a year ago, I took it into the dealer, they said its an reaccuring problem, so they updated the ECU with a new patch from mazda and I was out of there within an hour. They said nothing to me bout my mods. Has not happended since.

just take it in to the dealer they will replace the fan module.. ive had it done before i had my cp-e intake and everything and no problems. the intake has nothing to do with the fan module so if they give u problems just like punch em in the face or something

Hey guys,I'm new here but I think i may can help you guys.I am a service manager at a mazda dealer.the fan control module is your problem with the fan running,it's not uncommon with the six,there is a bulletin out on it.If your still under your factory warranty then of course it won't cost a dime but if not then depending on what your dealer charges per hour it should be around 100 bucks.

Wow how many times am I going to post this?

I read through all those posts...
My 6's fan has always run for anywhere from 10-30seconds after the car has been shut off. I thought that this was normal as I've had other cars do this. I was always told that it helps cool off the warm engine in a more consistent manner and was somehow good for the engine.
Is this the symptom that everyone says should be remedied by the replacement of the module?

Yeah...

just got mine replaced, for the second time. you'll feel the power again after the install.

And of course as soon as I see this thread and ask about it... last night the fans stayed on for a few minutes after shutoff.
And they seemed louder... :swearin:

I again wanted to thank those on this board. I went to the dealer and had them replace the fan module today.
I was nervous, since this was the first time I brought it in for a warranty issue with the Injen/MAF customizer installed and was worried they'd give me some shit about it. (they had given me some grief when I installed the exhaust/Injen on my Protege5)
Not one word about it. :nono:
And not only were they quick about it, they did it without disconnecting my battery and resetting all my electronics.
AND... they found that my brake lines had a bunch of bubbles. I thought that the noise every time I pressed on the brake pedal was just a noise from the pedal brushing against something. Apparently, it was a real issue. I can't believe I didn't feel the difference!

Ok, my fan has just started to do this these past few days. The fan would still run after the car is off. Ive read this thread, so it seems that i need to replace my fan module now? I got over 46000 miles on my car now. My warrenty is gone pretty much, so is this going to be expensive? I have a 03 V6 by the way.

If your warranty has passed you can purchase a fan module from one our sponsors here. The price has dropped dramatically since I purchased one last year for around $100. Currently it's $22.24 with Sabrina.
