Default Aux and radiator fan running after engine stop...

Is it normal for the auxilary and radiator fan to run after the engine is turned off? My '04 just started doing this the other day. I've never noticed it before, but now it seems to happen each time I drive it. Any thoughts?

Normal. However, as stated above, make sure you're not missing coolant fluid (I would assume you would get dashboard warning for that though). My car, for example, always runs the pump since I modified it to do so. Unmodified car shouldn't run it every time though, and if it does, make sure it turns off eventually within few minutes (it might take it up to 10 minutes).

you car is probly running a little warm, its normal to run after you turn off, its a safety feature, when was your last oil change? i know when i start getting towards 5000 my oil temps go up about 5-10 degrees, wich is to be expected as less lubracation=heat
