• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I have a 2022 Telluride that just started having issues. When I turn off the car everything shuts down just fine, then after about 1-2 minutes the radiator cooling fan will come on at full blast. The car is locked without me in/near it. The only way for me to shut the fan down is to turn the car back on, but then it will just do the same thing once turned off. Right now I have the fan unplugged as it would run until my battery dies. And it's not because it's warm either, it's 38° here. TIA
 
I’ve had the exact same problem for over a year now. About to take it into the dealership for a third time after previously having them tell me the fan was faulty and replacing it and after they blamed it on the ADS, which they turned off. Neither of those solutions solved my problem. I am planning to just trade the car in and get a different brand. I’ve got a 2023, original owner and only 30k miles on it
 
i just had this issue pop up. I'm reading online that it could be a faulty temperature sensor or stuck relay switch. Were you able to diagnose it on your end or have it fixed? thanks!
 
This may not solve everyones problems, but it solved mine. Yesterday I parked, turned off my 2022 Telluride and got out. 30 seconds later the radiator fan kicked on and started running. I turned on the vehicle and turned it off again and went into my building. When I came out 3 hours later my battery was dead. I jumped it and returned home where the fan proceeded to turn on again 30 seconds after turning off the vehicle. After some googlefu, my wife went into the infotainment system and turned off the Auto Dehumidify and Auto Defrost functions. Upon doing that, turning the car on and off again, the fan stayed turned off and has been fine for the last 12 hours. The weather in Austin was almost 80 degrees and humid Saturday evening, then 40 degrees and dry Sunday morning, which may have contributed to the issue. But wanted others to at least have another option to try.

From their website/owners manual.
Climate control system
To turn the Auto Dehumidify feature on or off, select Face level ( ) mode and in the pressed state the "A/C" button and press the air intake control button at least five times within three seconds.
When Auto Dehumidify is turned on, the air intake control button indicator will blink 6 times.
When turned off, the indicator will blink 3 times.

Infotainment system
Auto Dehumidify can be turned on and off by selecting 'Settings → Vehicle → Climate → Automatic Ventilation → Auto Dehumidify' from the infotainment system screen.
