I just washed my engine so I would be able to see if I corrected an oil leak (changed pan gasket). I drove the car from my driveway into the garage-engine on for maybe 15 seconds. After turning the car off about a minute later the condenser fan kicks on for 15 minutes then shuts off. This normally only happens when the engine is above normal operating temperature not when the engine is cold. In searching threads I read Guaynabo89's note in 2003 that his Accord's condenser fan kicks on after he cleans his engine. Before I start ripping out relays and switches I thought I would ask if this is a sign of impending sensor/relay failure? Is it likely to resolve on it own once the switch dries out? Thanks.

The sensor that controls that is located on the thermostat housing. It has 2 wires going to it. It is the smaller of the two. Try cleaning the connector and use dielectric grease when reassembling.
