fan continuously running

I drive a 96 teg
One of my fan behind my radiator is still on when my car is off and the key is out.
Does anybody know what's wrong?

does it run continuously and you have to unplug it??
if it runs forever it's probably a short, grounding out..

if it shuts off after a while on its own, then i'm pretty sure that's normal..

start by checking out yer wires..see if anything is making contact with the frame/chassis/any kind of metal..
since it's only the one fan i'm apt to think it's one of the wires from that fan alone..

tho..

it's been a long time since i messed with this kinda thing..but, anyone know if a sticky/shot thermostat would do this?? it closes a circuit right?? grounding the lead from the fan?? would it just affect one fan??

unplug the sensor and see if the fan shuts off all the sensor does inside is expand with the heat and short to ground. If you unplug the sensor and the fan shuts off, then you have a bad sensor. If you unplug it and it doesnt shut off it could be a worn wire touching ground
