Replacement fan is always on
So, the original fan was making horribly loud noises, and my computer was often running quite hot. I ordered and installed the part, “MacBook Pro 13" Unibody and MacBook 13" Unibody Fan / Used / Silver, IF163-022-3”. The install seemed to go smoothly.
However, now, whenever the computer is on, the fan is running at what seems to be full blast. It’s an improvement, but I feel like usually the fan speeds up and slows down relative to the temp of the computer. Is this just how my new fan works, or is it possibly faulty, or maybe I did a bad install?
I’ve installed the app, Macs Fan Control. With my older fan I could adjust the speed, and it told me the rpm’s of the fan. Since I’ve installed the new fan, the rpm simply reads 0, and I can’t adjust the speed of the fan. This makes me think maybe there is a bad connection?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Here’s the screenshot of TG Pro.

@codyblake - Lets see what all of the sensors are telling us. Install this great app TG Pro post a snapshot of the main app window, you may need to expand the window to get all of the sensors to show as well as the fans Adding images to an existing question.
Also take a picture of the fan connector on the logic board and your fan's cable.
That will help us help you!
