Auto Parts: Cooling fans on 1998 Dodge grand caravan, dodge grand caravan, inner fender

Question
The two cooling fans on our 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan kept running this morning when my wife turned off the ignition.  This has never happened, but she did not hear them due to high ambient noise in the parking lot.  They ran long enough to drain the recently installed battery.  I was able to jump start with no difficulty and drive home, where the fans ran after ignition was turned off.  I disconnected the battery for now.  Any ideas?  Thanks,

Answer
Hi Chris,

Replace the relay, it's stuck in the 'ON' position. Relay should be in a relay center near the firewall on the passenger side or on the inner fender of the drivers side.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
