Default car attenna and car fan.

hi im new to this forum. i already posted in the new section.

Anyways, i have a 1994 honda accord Lx and im having trounble with the attenna and the raidiator fan.

the problem with the attena is that when u turn on or shut off the car, the attenna makes a pretty loud creaking noise as it goes up. Would this be an electrical problem? or a simple motor problem that needs to be replaced?

And about the fan, whenever i shut the car off. the radiator fan will turn on randomly once the car is completely off and continue to run for about 3-5mins.

Thanks

Loud antenna motor is probably a mechanical problem in the motor. If you're good with small stuff, the motorized antenna assembly can be removed & dismantled.

Fan running after you turn off the car is normal for Accords up to 1997. I don't know where you're located, but if it's wintertime, then maybe your thermostat is making the engine run a bit hot. If you're down under (summertime in January) then it's good.
