Cooling fan sometimes wont cut off?
With many cars now days, the fan may continue to run after the car is shut off, or they may even start and run for a while after the car is shut off.

If it continually runs after being shut off, it could be a faulty temperature sensor, or a faulty fan relay, or even a bad computer.
