Recently, out of nowhere, my car started making this terrible screeching sound that comes in right at about 2850 RPM and only gets worse as the RPMs increase. The sound stays at a steady loud volume from about 3500RPM on up.
It seems to only come when the clutch fan is on, and the noise actually disappeared for about a week, then just came in again this Friday.
Now, normally the clutch fan isn't on
all the time, but since Friday, everytime I drive the car, it hasn't gone off for a moment. (driven in ambient temps from 50 degrees to 90 degrees, fan still on)
*What causes the clutch fan to turn on in the first place?
*Why isnt it turning off?
*How can I fix that noise? .. is there any spray or something to possibly lube something up, or is it some belt that has worn out?

I'd really appreciate some help here
thanks
**SOLVED**
The problem has been fixed by replacing my fan clutch, which I believe was seizing up and causing the belts to slip.
