Does the car have a/c and are you running the defroster?
The reason I ask, if the compressor is on and it hits a certain pressure =
150 psi on the high side the fan will kick on. If the high pressure =
switch is bad the fan will stay on after you turn the key of and =
continue to run until you pull the relay. How do I know, it happened to =
me. Behind the passenger side headlight in front of the washer bolt the =
are two small switches first one is green that is the low side switch =
and a wire leads to the compressor (this will not power the compressor =
if the freon is low <10 psi) the over one is the fan swtch that turns =
the cooling fan on high if the pressure exceeds 150 psi disconnect that =
one. Then have the ac serviced and replace that switch.

Subject: Why won't my fan sht off?
My stupid fan won't shut off after I stop the car. If teh fan turns =
off while running itis fine, but if I turn it off whil running it won't =
stop and I have to pull the relay to get it to stop. At first I thought =
it was the relay and changed it three timre. Then I git frustrated and =
tried testing for power at the fan connection with a test light. The =
switch would stop putting out power after a little bit making it look =
like it should shut off. So I thout maybe the Fan motor went funky and =
put a Junkyard one in, but Still nothing.ARGHHHH!!! could it possible a =
bad fan switch? i put a new low temp one in like 4k ago, but with the =
test light it would cut power at the fan. WTF!! anyone with help let me =
know.
Thanks,
