The car has a computer that is linked to the engine. It is hard wired to it meaning the computer is always on. Upon shutting your engine off taking the keys in hand the computer is still on sensing the engines temperture. The coolant sensor will send power to the relay to keep the fans running untill cooled down enough. Then the sensor will cut off power to the relay shutting off the fans

    My 2010 X-type 2.0l diesel car engine cooling fans `run on` after very short journeys (ie 1 to 2 miles) from cold! And the radiators are cold to touch when they start. One jaguar dealer told me to remove the fan module fuse (5A) to stop the fans from flattening the battery, but this did not stop the fans and I have been unable to find a fuse that would cut off their supply. What can one do without disconnecting the battery?

Some run on is normal, say up to 12 minutes or so. This is due to the engine still needing a cool down after driving. If it stays on for a real long time, an hour or so it needs dealer attn.

It should remain on for ten minutes or until the engine finishes cooling down.

SOURCE: The electric radiator cooling fan will not turn off

As long as the fan eventually shuts off this isn't a problem,the fan will continue to run for a bit after the car is turned off,once it reaches a set temprature it will turn off.

SOURCE: cooling/electrical

Its commonly known as a thermo-fan (thermostat). runs off power until engine cools.... pulls extra air flow through radiator when car is idling. Check to ensure radiator is full (water/ coolant), but it is normal for it to run for a min or 2 after engine shut off. Still, CHECK YOUR RADIATOR IS FULL, because dry engines die young.

SOURCE: Both radiator cooling fans won't turn on vehicle overheats

The fans come on only when hot or the AC is on. There are many fuses that have to be good for it to work. The fan relay should have 2 pins hot with the key on, The other 2 should be ground. with the key off one should be hot and the other can then be ground the other pins that are ground one of them is the fan. the other becomes ground when the computer turns the fans on. If you don't have a pin thats hot at the relay all the time then theres a blown fuse or even the power wire from the battery at the battery

SOURCE: 1999 nissan maxima when ignition

The cooling fans will run until the coolant drops below the preset temperature level. So I am not to concerned with that unless we are talking an extremely long time.

But what warning lights are you referring too? That could or could not be a problem.

As soon as i turn the key on(without starting the engine), the radiator and a/c fans starts.

This sounds like the heat sensor in the engine cooling system is failing/has failed completely (internal switching contact remains closed). The engine cooling fan should only come on at the prescribed heat temperature but will also remain active after shutting the engine down, if the engine temp is still above the prescribed temp. Regarding the A/C fan, this is most likely a wiring fault, possibly a short circuit with the car's ignition circuit.

Why does my fan keep running in my 2003 Volvo S 60 after the car is off?

It can be faulty fan relay.The relay is not turning the system off.Or its wire short issue.Even with ignition off ,the fan relay is getting power so its not letting the fan to turn off.Bypass the fan control relay and see if still the fan works with ignition off or not.

Whay does my radiator fan stay on whaen i turn the car off

It stays on to continue cooling the contents of the radiator, which remain hot even after you turn your car off. When the coolant is cooled, the fan will turn off.

Radiator fan runs after car is turned off. Only occurs when A/C is run for more than 10-15 min. Shuts off after a few minutes, but is concerning.

That is nothing to worry about the fan remains running after the vehicle shuts off in order for the engine to cool down. Once the motor cools down sensors trigger the fan to shut it off.

Is the radiator fan the same as the cooling fan?

The cooling fan is used to cool the radiator.
There is a sensor that turns the fan 'on' if the radiator gets too hot. A light comes 'on' to tell you the fan is 'on'.

If the fan ran all night the sensor is bad and the (sorry for the pun) the idiot light is on to tell everyone something is wrong and it needs service.
DON"T run your car with out the fan!

2004 Jetta GLS. Main cooling fan remains on after car turned off.

"Already had replaced: both cooling fans, fan control module, coolant temp sensor, fan switch, 4 terminal connectors. No trouble codes reported in VW electronic diagnostic test. 2 different VW dealers and and my mechanic threw in the towel. Any suggestions greatly appreciated."

This is a common problem with the VW..and no one has an answer WHY. (including VW mechanics)

THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE and should be implemented

The cooling fan stays on for a long time after ignition is off

Check the fan thermostat(s) - it(they) should be near the radiator. BE CAREFUL - these fans can start at any time!!!
