96 sable cooling fan staying on

[Firehawk35]

OK , I joined this group in hopes of some help. Mt girlfriend has a 96 sable. Just recently the cooling fan will not shut off all the time after the car is shut off. Also sometimes it just starts up when the car is just sitting, not running. Drains the battery. What controls the fan on these cars, or is it just possesssed??? Thanks in advance

There is a temp sensor that controls the fan. Engine temp will rise a little after the car is shut-off causing the fan to come on or stay on a little while.

Thanks for the info about the sending unit, Could you give me a idea where its located?? I understand the fan does run a lil after its shut off but this one wont shut off at all until the battery is dead. Thanks again

Mine is in the radiator (different make and model). Follow the wires from the fan after disconnecting the battery.
