Is the cooling fan on a car with a cycling clutch air condition supposed to stay on after car has been turned off?

Many modern cars with electric cooling fans are designed so the cooling fan will continue to run if the engine is hot whether the engine is running or not. This is to eliminate the temperature spike when the motor is turned off. The fan should shut off after the temperature of the motor cools to a certain point. The fan is governed by a temperature switch ( temperature sender ). If the fan runs continuously ( ie doesn't shut off after 5 or so minutes) the temperature switch may be malfunctioning. To test it, with the engine off, disconnect the wire connection to the switch while the engine is cold. Use an ohm meter to check for continutity between the two leads from the sender. While cold the resistance should be infinite ( closed circuit, no continuity). If there is continuity while the motor is cold the switch is bad.

Where is the ac clutch cycling pressure switch located on a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu?
It is on the acumulator.
Why does the AC compressor keep cliking on and off even after you installed 2 cans of 134A?
It's supposed to. You have a cycling clutch compressor. When system pressure reaches a predetermined high, a sensor disengages the compressor clutch, and engages it back on when system pressure drops to a predetermined low point. What you're experiencing is normal operation.
Where is the fan clutch on a 1999 Dodge Sport Caravan?
It doesn't use a fan clutch. It has electric cooling fans.
What is the purpose of the thermostatic switch in a cycling clutch system?
A thermostatic clutch is usually used on a car's engine cooling fan. It uses a bi-metallic spring, which tightens and forces the fan to turn when the air temperature inside the engine compartment reaches a certain level. Basically is used to prevent the fan from wasting your engine's power when there is no need for cooling, by allowing the fan to freewheel when the engine is cold. It then serves as a device to automatically engage the fan and keep the engine cool when necessary.
