Dear Loren ,Iam the owner Boxster s '05 and i have the same problem (believe it or not) with the member 'dog4delta'. My engine compartment fan runs at a low speed whenever the engine is running. However,it's not running at full power the way it does when it comes on when the engine is hot.When i disconnect the temp sensor the fun runsat high speed.What's your opinion about it. Is this happen only to my boxster s? Thanks for any help. Greetings from Greece!

I have a boxster 2005 (25 k) which is giving a similar problem. In my case it seems to be running at low speed, but after running my car for about an hour at low speed and in traffic I get an warning, that says failure of engine compartment fan. After I stop the car the message warning dissapears. Is this fan the auxiliary fan? Any help will be appreciated.

Greetings from Mexico.

Yes, the engine compartment purge fan should only come on when the engine compartment air temperature exceeds certain levels.

If you are getting a warning then you need to check the fault code(s).

In many cases the thermal sensor has fallen out of it's holder and is laying on hot engine parts giving a false reading.
