I have a 1998 156 2.0 twin spark with 117000 miles on the clock. Runs like
a dream but cooling fan is constantly on! Changed relays, fuses and
resistor in fan shroud but still runs all the time. Injector warning light
also constantly on. Coolant level is correct. Are there any other sensors
on this thing I need to check.? Can I reset the system somehow to get rid
of the warning light? Help thanks

At a rough geuss, the water temp sensor is playing silly whatists.

THis page *may* help, but it's a bit graphics heavy

try disconnecting the battery for 2-3 hours
that should reset the electronics
