Yes my grandmother had that problem also. They had to rewire it so it would only run when the car was running.
It was in a Ford I think. But any ways it has a temperature gage and when it is hot out side it will kick the fan on. My grandmothers car would not be started for days and the fan would come on.

That means the wiring for your fans are screwed up you need to get those fixed or quick fix unplug the connectors to the fans before u walk away from your car so your battery doesnt die but remember to plug it back in

It means that the relay responsible to make the fan off when u switch off the car is out of order and mostly the coil of this relay is burned and the contacts of it stay closed.so u have to change this relay.

Its not that great a deal. there is some short circuiting in your wiring. Its better to go to electrician before your battery goes out.

because something is wrong with the wiring!!! the fans should turn off right when the ignition is turned off... you need to get to a mechanic or car dealer!

the fans are turned on by thermo switch mostly located either on the radiator or the engine block (depend on the make and model) locate it and replace for new one
