This depends on the position of the temperature switch and its switching
temperatures.
If you have the temp. switch in the top hose of the radiator you will
have the described effect when the switch temperature is lowish, say
around 85/80degrees C. When you switch of the engine the coolant temp.
around the cilinder head (and top hose) will rise, hence the cutting in
of the fan. However it will not do any harm, just drain the battery a
bit. To overcome this fit a temp. switch that switches at around
104/98degrees C.
If the temp. switch is fitted in the bottom hose of the radiator the
running on would be a bit odd, allthough a temp. switch with low
switching temperatures would be fitted here, as the coolant temp would
have dropped considerably here.
Appearantly the relay of the fan is not connected up through the
ignition circuit but directly to the battery. If you would wire in the
relay into the ignition circuit the fan will not come on after switching
of the ignition.
The fan should not cut in under normal driving conditions. It should
only run in heavy traffic and extreme conditions.
