On the later cars, the fans should run on at low speed after shutdown if 
the engine is very hot. The switch is on the top of the intake plenum. The 
switch should be open (infinite ohms) below approximately 87 deg C., and 
closed (zero ohms) above that.

If the fan is running on when it shouldn't, unplugging the switch will 
usually stop it.
