Default Radiator fan fuse

Ok, I'm feeling a little dumb here.
My radiator fan will not shut off even when engine is off. I waited about 20 minutes and just decided to disconnect the battery.

I want to just pull the fuse not disconnect the battery. I would like to know which number fuse it is in the fuse box.

Thanks

It's in the owner's manual, which can be found here:

Do you have a low temp thermostat, i.e. 160 or other non stock?
If yes, certain ones can cause this non shut off.

Yes I did put a lower temp tstat to just delay how soon the fan would come on.
Its been fine for the last year or so.

Thanks

Sure sounds like a failed Tstat. Been there twice.

Where did you get it from? What temp is it?

Lots of posts and several threads on this problem. Several solutions.

I think its the Tstat as well.
Its 180 not to much lower than stock. With the fan running all the time water temp would not get above 140 and oil 130.

I had a 160 that was OK for 6 months before the fan problem.
Replaced it with an LMR stat & no more prob.

air in system, tstat stuck (would think the temp gauge would read high if that was the issue but maybe not) or fan relay stuck on

It is a little strange, it probably is the tstat or relay.

Thanks for the feedback.

Not to beat a dead horse, but, put the original thermostat back in and see if the fan is OK.
