My radiator fan motor came one while driving, then stayed on when engine was shut down. It now stays on all the time - I had to disconnect the battery to stop it. The engine is not overheating - there is no reason the fan should be running. How do I fix this? Thanks

You most likely have a bad CCRM (Constant Control Relay Module).
It's located in the right hand front of engine compartment, mounted to upper radiator support.

Thank you Wrenchtech - that was it - I took it out, opened it up, found dirt had gotten inside, cleaned it up, cleaned connection pins/socket and now it works just fine!
