So randomly last night I am going into work and a friend comes and tells me my car fan is on, well my car had been off, the turbo timer shuts it off.
so I go out there and pull the negative battery cable off because I didn't have time to fux with it
so I get home from work and it didnt do that
and then I go to work this morning, no problem
but when I got home about 30 minutes ago it would not go off.
The turbo timer is staying on, but not counting down, just like giving me a temp reading
if I turn it off manually, the fan still stays on.
Its currently unplugged at the harness
Ive kind of narrowed it down to the fan relay, fan switch, or a short in my wiring
which I hope it is not

Anybody have any experience with this?
I really don't want to have to pop my hood, and unplug my fan every time I park my car

Sounds like something is grounding out, either the fan relay or ECT. Maybe check fuse 17 and make sure it is not powered up with the key off. Other than that I would go through and check for exposed wiring and maybe test the ECT.

I wanna say I've narrowed it down to the turbo timer itself
It will shut the car off but it will not auto shut itself off
Gotta check the grounds and such
I hope its just a ground =/
