My engine light is on. The temperature guage needle does not move. The heater is working. When the engine is turned off, both fans stay on for approximately 2-3 minutes.

What you need to do here is have the computer scanned for OBD2 codes, there's a problem within the engine management system that caused the light to turn On, this is your starting point of diagnosis.
