Fuse box fan
The fan in my fuse box started cycling on and off for the first time today. Anyone know why this could be? It happens that I am using little electricity at this time of year.

It is heat controlled I believe and comes on to cool the converter. The converter is what charges your battery. It is normal for the fan to cycle.

I assumed there was a thermistor back there but it worries me that the fan just now started to cycle after several months of full time.

When was the last time you checked your battery/ies?? They could be going bad requiring the converter to run longer trying to charge it/them.
