Help with radiator fan

Today I got home and the radiator fan on the driver side will not shut off even after turning the car off. Any ideas?

Is it turning off eventually? How long? Fans can run under normal conditions several minutes after the vehicle is off.

I went out this morning and plugged it in still running do the fans always have 12v to them even with the ignition off?

Fixed, Found the relay and tapped it twice to release, now it works like a champ. I will be replacing the relay tomorrow just in case it decides to get stuck again. thanks for the input everyone.

Nice. Was just going to add here that you should probably check the relays and replace it (them). Sounds like you have a faulty switch and it's a cheap fix.
