Default Fan problem, please help

I currently have a clients Electra Glide in my garage for a basic detail. It's only the 5th or so Harley I've done so I'm still critiquing how I detail them...

After foamwashing the bike, I let the bike soak for a bit to help break away some grime he had on different areas of bike.

Upon return, the fan on the left side had kicked on... and now won't go off. I did a couple quick searches and didn't see anything, although I may have not searched correctly through the forum.

Anyone have any idea of why it came on, and secondly when/if/how it will stop? Thanks for any help in advance....

- Kevin

How drunk are you? And have you been that way for more than five years? Google "AA".

+1...Don't ask us, ask him. Just tell him his is the first bike you've seen with a cooling fan. He will respect the fact that you called him to ask (I think).

Make sure the Radiator Cap is tight and check the overflow reservoir. Seriously just call your customer and ask him.

Change the blinker fluid, that should do it.
