Does anyone know if there is a "over temp" indication if there is a fan failure, or obstructed duct? Also, do you think there is a dedicated warning to indicate this (if it were to happen) within the displays on the dash?
Rear radiator fan??
I took my Stingray on its first long drive this weekend -- Jax to Naples -- I got countless thumbs-up from passing cars and bikes -- yes I was going that slow. Anyway, when I arrived down south after five hours of driving I heard what sounds like an electric fan running back behind the cockpit? Same thing when I got home last evening… I had not heard of them having aux fans in the rear area so I'm wondering if anyone can help clear this up for me?

So it was the fan that came on @ speed and you heard it? That creates several questions in my mind; Was there an overtemp., and if there was, why, what caused it? I am thinking if you heard it @ interstate speeds it must have been pretty loud, which can't be a good thing.... I was cruising down I-75 and suddenly I start hearing this fan whine coming from behind me -- I thought I had tire failure or something...
This implies that it is a closed system without any airflow from under the car being involved. I suspect like you, I have to wonder why? Especially if a fan is required when the car is at speed. What happens on a hot Fla. day in traffic? Do keep us posted. By the way, I changed the title of your thread to Rear Radiator Fan. I hope that's OK.
