A/C issue with fan

My rig has the standard one thermostat control panel for both heat and A/C. Both the heat and the A/C seem to function OK. The fan setting switch is either auto or on. With the selector switch for heat and/or A/C in the off position, the fan is trying to cycle on every 5 or 6 minutes. Only way to stop it is to trip the circuit breaker.

Anyone seen this before? Issue with the control panel or the overhead A/C unit?

    Which fan are you talking about: the A/C fan or the furnace fan?
    What do you mean by "heat and/or A/C in the off position"? Are they both off or is one of them on?
    Does it matter which position the fan switch is in: "On" or "Auto"?
    If we're talking about the A/C fan turning on, does the compressor also run at the same time, or just the indoor fan?
    What brand thermostat are we talking about?


    The A/C fan is trying to cycle itself evry few minutes.
    The thermostat control has one slider switch that has 3 positions. Heat, Off and A/C. I have this in the off position.
    Since the thermostat is Off, the fan switch should be dead I assume. But the cycling occurs no matter which position is chosen.

    The odds are, if you do NOT have a Lo/Hi or Lo/med/hi fan switch on the tstat, then someone has installed an aftermarket Tstat and THAT may be your problem. Doug
    Not really sure if the compressor is trying to cycle.
    Not near the rig at this time so I don't know the brand name of the thermostat.
