With the fact that you have a Jag, it can be two things. so we will start with the hopefull side. Does it ever turn off, if it does then it's ok, your car as well as many other imports computer systems will run the fan for sometimes up to 30 mins after shutting the car off and sometimes during the night if it is an extremly hot night. it helps keep the engine cooled down. now if it never shuts off until your battery runs dead then it is the relay for the fan has a bad ground so the contact doesn't break and you will just have to replace the relay.
hope this helps

If the fan shuts off when the engine cools down, it's probably normal for your car.

Many cars have this feature. The fan will run for a few minutes at a time until the coolant in the radiator drops below a certain temperature. Most vehicles with this feature will have a warning label on the radiator shroud indicating that the fan may start without warning when the engine or radiator is still hot. The only time you would need to be concerned would be if the fan continues to run without turning itself off, and causing the battery to be drained.

Why does my fan continue to run after car is shut off?

Which fan are you referring to? The pusher fan in front of the radiator is tied to the AC system. If it continues to run for an extended period after you turn off the key, then there is likely a problem with the relay. I think your model year has the 2 speed fan. Does the fan run at high speed or low speed when you turn off the car? Does it do it if the AC is off?

Cooling fans continue to run when engine is shut off

This is normal. Cooling fans today are not turned by the fan belt but are run by an electric motor. The fan continues running until the coolant temperature is reduced

Cooling fan runs continuously, even after replacing both relays coolant sensor.

Could be that you have 2 Thermal sensors as some cars have one for the dash gauge or light and the other is for the PCM.

Remember that when you turn on the A/C it can trigger the cooling fans to run continuously. If the A/C is left on while you are doing all of this, it can be a simple reason for the problem.

Please rate my info.

Many cooling systems are designed to let the cooling fan continue to run even after shutting down the engine...however, this should only last for a minute or so...your owners manual may help. If the fan never stops when turned off this is probably a faulty resistor...may need a good mechanic to confirm which...Hope this helps.

AC/Heat Fan runs continuously and Rear end roaring noise

Sounds like the wheel bearing on the right rear hub may be defective, that would cause the noise if the tires are ok. As far as the fan goes not sure this isn't working as designed.

Dodge dynasty electric fan doesn't turn off

On some vehicles, the fan will continue to run for a short time after turning the car off. But if it runs for more than 5 minutes you may have a bad sensor or stuck relay
