Q: Cooling fan doesn't turn off
The cooling fan doesn't turn off, even though the car's been parked for six hours.
The cooling fan relay is most likely stuck, and needs to be replaced. I recommend that you have a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come by and replace your cooling fan relay, if it is deemed necessary.
