How do I stopthe fan from running on my Mazda 626 if the car is turned off?
If it's the one on the radiator, and it stops running after a few minutes, then it's been designed by Mazda to work like that. If it runs until the battery goes flat, you have a short circuit somewhere, supplying the fan with power.
What do you do when the radiator fan in your 1994 grand voyager stays on after the ignition is off?
In some vehicles the fan does stay on for alittle bit after the engine has been shut down... if it stays on for along time and wont go off then it might be the fan relay. does the fan eventually switch off by itself?if it does the fan is working corectly.it stays on till the temp is pulled back down to the temp setting.if it does not eventually shut off by it self, you need to have the fan thermostat checked

I have a 2005 Honda Pilot and just recently the engine fan keeps running after the ignition has been shut off. Why is this happening?
The fan is on a thermostat, causing the fan to run if cooling is required, even when the car ignition is turned off. Having said that, if you notice that the fan is running long after you've shut the engine off, you may have a problem!

It could be that the fan switch on the thermostat is turned on so the fan runs all the time not just when the A/C or heat is on. This is supposed to be the most efficient method.

Its not your engine. Its the fan running to cool the engine down. They all do it and nothing is wrong with your car.
What causes the cooling fan on a 1997 Ford Escort not to shut off after the ignition is turned off causing it to run indefinitely?
The cooling fan is supposed to keep running as long as the coolant is over temperature. If it runs too long, it could be the temperature sensor or a stuck relay. If the relay has become magnetized or fused, you need to replace it.
Why does Fan on 1996 vw golf stays on when ignition is turned off?

Why does the fan keep running on a 1983 caprice classic when engine is off?
If the fan keeps running it's because it is electric and wired through a temperature switch not the ignition. Electric Fan running is independent of engine running. When the temperature is high enough to start the fan, it goes on. when the temp drops the fan goes off. Temp does not drop right away when the car is turned off. It can actually rise several degrees when the engine is turned off. The fan running after engine shut off is actually a good thing that may prevent radiator overflow
What is the noise on a 206 when engine is turned off?
