The Fan in a 3.5 F150

Sometimes when try starting my truck there’s a screeching noise . Won’t start . Today when it happened I tried turning the key over 3 quick times. It started. So, I’m wondering if I cleared it by doing that? Now, when I’m at my destination and put it in park maybe I should wait for the fan to stop before shutting down the engine? I wonder if the fan has anything to do with this?

That sounds more like a starter that's getting ready to go.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your F-150 concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.
