2004 gto fan is staying on when cars off?
Posting this for a friend. He has a stock 2004 gto with under 60k miles. Here is what he messaged me
Had a problem w/my high speed fan relay few months back (the fan would stay on after the car was off but when I took it out the fan would shut down so I replaced the high speed relay. Had no problems for a month. Then I turn the gto off today and the high speed fan was stayin on. I popped the hood and took the relay out and it still stayed on. I even took out the low speed relay and it still wouldn't go off. So today I changed the coolant temperature sensor in hopes that it would help. But no the fan still stays on after the car is off
Any suggestions or ideas guys? I really have no idea what to tell him as i have no idea about the cooling systems on these cars
Thanks guys!!

I would assume that if there were a connection to heat he would have pointed it out... stock tune has an allowance to keep the fans running after the car is turned off if coolant temps are above a certain level. Although the car would do its best to keep coolant temps below that threshold while it was running (it's really high, like 284 if I recall), it could still be related. I set that temp to something artificially low to keep the fans on when I'm at the strip.
