Take the interior door trim panel off and see what isn't moving that should be. Likely one of the plastic links or hinges is loose or broken.

The psychological effect can be surprisingly strong -- having a lighter ceiling makes the space feel higher and more airy. Something to consider if you ever give rides to claustrophobes.

Check for an oil leak.
Jamming that much cleaner through can loosen carbon deposits. Normally that's a good thing, but not if a deposit has built up around an oil leak and is plugging the leak. Remove...

Same idea as has been advanced before -- test the fan temperature switch. Also, test the fan itself.
