Radiator Fan on..
The other night, I pulled in and shut my car off. I had driven it for maybe 15 minutes on a 70-75 degree night. I got out and the radiator fan was still blowing even with the car turned off. I have driven the car longer and in hotter weather and the radiator fan never came on. It hasnt done it since, but should I be concerned or was that just a fluke?

It is normal. Not sure why it never happened in hotter conditions. Must have been the way you were driving.

the pcm decided that the engine or coolant temp it was seeing from its sensors required it to run the fans. it could be and probably is working exactly theway it should. but there are some thigns that could cause it to run when it doesnt need to. faulty sensors or a bad Tstat or low coolant level for instance. you've had your car thru a summer and a winter already right? so you are used to how it runs etc. if you think this is odd then pay attention to it for a little while. if you see your coolant ligth come on the dash or the fans run when you think its really odd again then have it checked.
having sais that- make sure you read thru your manual for a refresher and next time jus tdo a search for the topic before posting a new thread. sometimes you dont even need to use thesearch just scroll down thru the threads and youll find one discussing the same thing
