Looking for some help -
Have an 87 GN - When I turn the engine off, cooling fan starts (as it should) but sometimes does not shut off. After 20 minutes, I restart the car, turn it off, then the fan stops. Any ideas? A switch or relay? Where would I locate it?

Thank you.

Sounds like the delay relay. Its the largest of the 3 on the driver's side fenderwell. They tend to corrode from rainwater and such coming through the hood-to-fender gap. Get a new one and seal it with silicone before putting it on to avoid this in the future.
