Fan Blowing when car is off and keys out

Just bought my 2001 V70 T5 wagon and really enjoying it. Its got some high mileage, but I think there is a lot of life left.

I did the seafoam clean today, and it runs great. I parked it when I got back home, and went inside. When I went back out maybe an hour later, the fan was just blowing like crazy into the cabin, it felt warm I guess because the engine was still hot, but I dunno. Keep in mind, the car was turned off for an hour, and the keys were with me. I know these things have some electrical issues, but this one is an interesting one....any ideas.

That's normal. The car does it to keep the evaporator dry after using AC. This keeps it from rotting out or stinking when you use the AC.

Funny, our 2003 V70 2.4t doesn't blow in the cabin, is it only T5's that do so?

I have the same car as you and this happened to me when I disconnected the MAF while the engine was running

Didn't happen straight away but after the next time I drove it. Did you disconnect the MAF while you were cleaning? Stupid I know but it does happen......

No. But it may have been disabled via a software setting. Or you've just never noticed it after 45 min of leaving the car somewhere.

It happens on my 2002 V70 2.4 ever since I bought it in 04.
