cooling fan wont shut off

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

I added this excellent info to the Audifans Wiki info site at Audifans.com
I also added this info:  If the fan runs AFTER shutdown I have it stop 
immediately by pulling relay 214.  There are two of them in the fuse box by the 
wipers.

Waytekwire.com  seems to sell the bosch relay. Page 52 of their catalog.
