Default Heater Fan causes.........

When the inside blower switch for the heater is on HIGH, and I turn the engine off, the engine continues to run for about 1-2 seconds after I turn the key to the "off" position....When I turn the fan switch to any of the lower speeds, the engine acts normally (turn off immediately when the key is turned)...it only acts up when the fan is on HIGH. What can cause this?

CEMF from the fan motor? Perm magnet motors act like a generator when you spin them mechanically. Turn off the key with the fan motor running on high and it might run on for a bit, guessing

Are you using an aftermarket ignition module / box ?
They are sometimes sensitive to this kind of problems.
A relay or a simple electronic diode can help, but we need to know more...

Is the car stock ? Has the interlock been bypassed, did you tap in to the pink ?

Is the interlock the silver box on top of the firewall on the passenger side?

Yes... I believe what it plugs into is orange and the box has a black button it.
