Fan stays on when car shuts off So , when I shut the car off the fan stays on for a few minutes and then eventually shuts off. Does this sound like I've got a bad relay?

Sounds more like you have a tune from the previous owner to help the engine cool down.
Does the car have any mods?
Does it do it every time or just when it gets hot?

Thanks.
I'm the original owner.
The only mods are : hooker shorties , slp lid , new clutch
it pretty much does it every time I drive the car now. Hasn't always been like this. Just started about 6 months ago.

Do you have a scanner to read actual coolant temp prior to engine shut down? The factory temp gauge is not accurate nor adequate for this test purpose. I'd start by checking this reading with a scanner, and my next actions would depend on the results of this information.
Also, have you checked the basics, meaning coolant condition and coolant level?
