Delay in fan turning off.

Hi guys, have come looking for some advice.

Am currently driving an Evo VII which i've had since 2004.

Until recently, the fan has *never* remained on when turning the car off. Now, it will remain on for perhaps 10-15 seconds, and then shut off. This seems to be consistent no matter the ambient temp, trip of the drive, etc..

I have a friend who is the manager of a Mitsubishi dealership and he has had his diagnosis guy check the engine codes and they've said they don't really know why it is doing that.

After all these years, it has only recently started, so I'd love to work out why and get it sorted.

Thanks

Cheers guys I'll look into that. Seems a small thing but it annoys me, I want to fix it.
