SOURCE: the cooling fan keeps running

The fan is suppose to run until engine cools off. If battery drains before cooling down a good place to start is a weak battrey

SOURCE: Coolings fan keeps running

the cooling fans are switched off and on by a relay. either this relay bad and staying on all the time, or something else is bad and telling it to stay on all the time. you might unplug the engine coolant temp sensor and see if the fans switch off. if they do you have a bad temp sensor, if they don't you probably have a bad relay. they will test either for you at most car parts stores. the relay will be in the underhood power distribution box, it plugs in like a fuse. disconnect the battery negative terminal before you start unplugging things from the power distribution box. hope that helps

SOURCE: my cooling fans not running so my car kep rning

Assuming the fuses are fine the most likely culprit is one of 3 fan relays located on the red cradle at the bottom of you rad. I had the same problem and repalced all 3 seeing as they are a pain to access

SOURCE: cooling fan keeps running after turning the car

You can unplug the fan so it doesnt run the battery dead. Typically what happens with these vehicles is that a failing radiator fan burns out the solid state fan relay, this can also cause the relay to short and supply continuous voltage to the fan assembly. The relay is located below the passenger headlamp but you will need to remove the front bumper to access it.

SOURCE: My 1996 Toyota Camry cooling

You can start with checking the fuse that is usually located in the engine compartment fuse panel...in there there may be a cooling fan relay that will need to be checked also...if these components check out..then sometimes the sensor on the engine for the cooling fan circuit may have become defective....usually it is located somewhere on the housing where the top radiator hose goes...you may have 2 different ones as the other is used for the temperature gauge

2001 ford escort cooling fan will not turn off please help?

sounds like either the temperature sensor is keeping it on, the cooling fan relay is fused together, or that you have some wires touching keeping power to the fan.

Cooling fan keeps running after engine turned off on a 1996 ef ford falcon

Some fans do keep running after engine is switched off for a short period of time (up to 5 minutes) Check with a service person (ford) to see if that is the case or if you have a faulty sensor.

Radiator fan makes noise for a bout 5-10 min after start

There may be a problem but some cars keep the radiator fan running after motor has been turned off to help cool the engine. My car uses this system but if it is cool out (below 60 degrees) it will not keep the fan running.

I changed the thermostat and temp sensor and now the car runs hot and the fan will not kick on. even if i over ride it with defrost!!

I think yu have air trapped in the system. You need to burp the air. Try leaving the cap loose and running till it warms up, then tighten the cap and keep the reservoir full.

Why does the fan keep running on 2005 jetta after turning off

You are talking about the thermo electric cooling fan, its operation is independent of the car's electical system. It is switched on and off by the engine temperature. When you park, the engine heat soaks upward to heat the thermostat turning the fan on. It will run until the engine cools down and the thermostat switches it off. Quite normal operation.
