I would suspect a stuck cooling fan relay. Your going to have to locate the malfunction to get the operation that you seek. Reference owners manual for lcoation of the cooling fan relay and try switching it out.

It could be the thermostatic fan control, or it could be that the dash controls are turned to the air conditioner, or defroster position. The fan will stay on as long as the controls are in the A/C or defroster position.

Air conditioner does not have a fan. There is a manually controlled blower motor inside the cabin, common for both heat and AC but I suspect you are talking about a fan under the hood (?) which would be the cooling fan for the radiator. It has a temperature sensor that is supposed to turn it on when engine coolant is too hot. That could be either with engine running or not, so don't stick your hands in there even if the engine is off. If my assumption re: fan location is correct, check wiring to the coolant sensor and if okay, then replace the sensor.

My 1988 2.3 liter mustang will not start after sitting overnight

Being that this vehicle is a 1988 it is most likely still using an electric choke. When your vehicle is cold (even just not warm enough) it needs a richer fuel/air mixture to start which is what the choke is there for. When you turn the key the choke will automatically shut so the suction from the engine will pull fuel from all circuits of the carb. Anyways.. long story short for some reason it would seem your choke isnt closing as it should. This is generally just a hot wire thats connected to your carb.... maybe a short maybe its stuck open for some reason.. idk but that is where you should focus your attention. Hope this helps.

When I turn my car off the air conditioner still runs-I needed a jump the other day because it ran all night and wore the battery down.

OK, if the relay for the A/C fan is bad, then the radiator's fan will keep running after turning off the ignition. Also, if the fan for ventilation of the A/C in the cabin stays on after the ignition is turned off, the relay for that is bad.

Good luck on this repair.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, AUTO ZONE SAYS COOLING FAN SHORTAGE

If the fuse is blowing there is too much resistance in the cooling fan moter. Replace JUST the cooling fan motor and the fuse. The A/C always turns the cooling fan ON when turned on. That is why the A/C messes up when the fan motor is bad. Replace the fan motor and the A/C problem will be fixed too. :)
