Bad thermostat, the cooling fan relay is doing its job perfectly: it's turning the fans on at the engne control module's request, since your engine is running too hot.

Same thing happen on one 2004 X-Type. They found out that it is the antfreeze, not have enough antifreeze, because it was leaking from the pipes that lead to the radiator. The clamps on the car are not very strong, and can loosen. Check for those pipes. I bought some nice clamps that have a screw on it so you can screw it as tight as you need.

Basicly check the coolant level before you replace any thermostats or sensors, if the level is okay I'll go with a thermostat.

2003 ford escape over heats while idleing

There are a few things which should be happening to prevent both problems.

There is a fan relay which senses heat and then turns on the electric cooling fan. Around this time, an idle control should cause the RPM to increase to help circulate the water in the engine.

Sounds like the engine is getting too lean to run because these automatic controls are not working. The hot engine is running lean.

My jag s type r is over heating and the fan is staying on for a long period of time before shutting off

Could be one of the following:
Physically look in the radiator under the cap for coolant level, and check the valve in the cap for sticking. If air is present in the radiator it can't get out, and more coolant can't get in,(from the overflow). Either clean the cap or replace it and check that it is the CORRECT cap.
Radiator fins dirty, clean with a strong stream of water, not high pressure water.
Radiator clogged, have it boiled out, or replace.
Thermostat stuck open or shut, replace it.
Water pump worn out, can no longer move enough coolant, replace it.
Fan shroud broken or missing....
Electric Fan(s) not working, Check the fan, relay, fuse and engine temperature sensor's.
Belt driven fan, belt slipping, fan clutch is bad, fan blades have flattened out.

Also, if the Jag has A/C and electric fans, one fan is dedicated to the A/C and should come on almost the instant the A/C is turned on. The engine fan will run even with the key off, that is normal. The system is trying to cool itself. Hope this helps.

When i turn off the car the fan continues to run?

Many cars have this feature. The fan will run for a few minutes at a time until the coolant in the radiator drops below a certain temperature. Most vehicles with this feature will have a warning label on the radiator shroud indicating that the fan may start without warning when the engine or radiator is still hot. The only time you would need to be concerned would be if the fan continues to run without turning itself off, and causing the battery to be drained.

Radiator fan stays on.

It is over heating, and fans keep running after i turn the ignition off

The fans are running trying to cool down the engine. Check and make sure cooant is full and start the car with radiator cap off and leave car warm up to make sure coolant is flowing. If the coolant starts to shoot out of the radiator, shut off and leave the car cool down and replace the thermostat. Then receck if you have no flow or it still runs hot have the radiator flow checked it could be clogged.
