Hello All,
Need some advice/knowledge to help my situation. I own a 98 Jaguar XJ8 and lately the radiator/cooling fan just stays on(stays on for like 7-10 minutes after the car is turned off!). This of course is DRAINING my battery quickly. I got the battery tested and it is fine. I have no idea what I need to do here(Is there a way to disconnect the fan, replace the sensor etc). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum SISB,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
No Location given so no way of knowing if you are on a glacier in Alaska or the Arizona desert and therefore can't give an opinion on whether the fans should be running on or not.
Follow this link XJ XJ8 / XJR ( X308 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
Enjoy the forums.
