Fan (to cool the engine) seems like it is running continuously. 1999 Dodge Caravan...?
Last night, went to start a 1999 dodge caravan and the battery was dead.
It's since been charged and it seems as if the fan (fuse?) to keep the engine cool is running non-stop.
Besides taking it to a mechanic (obviously) do you know what this problem is?
Please only answer if you have an idea what it might be or have experienced this problem before... thank you for your time! :)
(we believe the fan belt is stuck)

it sounds like the fan relay is bad so just go to a parts store and tell them you need a fan relay for your year make and model and some part stores will help replace it if your not sure were it is

What does the belt have to do with the radiator fan? What the heck are you talking about?
This vehicle has an electric fan.
The fuse doesn't turn the fan on and off.
A continuously running electric fan is usually doing so because the fan relay is burned out. See this post to read how it works.

But since you don't know the difference between a fan belt and an electric fan, I wouldn't recommend trying to fix this yourself.
Yank the fuse to the electric fans until Monday and take it to a shop

I had problems on mine & it was because the double wire going down by the thermostat housing had fallen off the little unit that screwed into the housing. When I plugged it back in the problem stopped!
So I say check the small wires around the hoses to make sure everything is plugged in

Turn the air conditioner off, the fan will run all the time when the aircon is on.
