Hi there, the following is only a suggestion and what I have experienced, along with a licensed mechanic's advice. I hope this helps your question. I'm sorry if it does not, even after you try it. Maybe this will at least be a starting point for you. Is it definitely the engine and not the fan that keeps running after the car is switched off? Sometimes when I turn my car off, my fan keeps running and I have to manually shut it off by doing the following: For my car, there is a fuse that controls the fan. Currently I just need to tap the cover of the fuse box where the fuse for the fan is located. Mine is a black box which is located under the hood. Once I do that, the fan stops running. Eventually the fuse for the fan may stop working and will need to be replaced. Janet
