Earlier this week had battery replaced. Now I have a fan that keeps running for a period of time (approximately 5 minutes) after I turn off engine. Could they have hooked something up wrong? I would appreciate an answer so I know how to deal with them. Since I am a female I need to sound like I know what I am talking about! :P

You need to find out what fan is working. That could be the reason the battery was drained leading to you replacing it.

It could be a faulty relay, or temperature switch.
