After-run relay

Fellow Audiophiles;

Amen, Halleuha and Eureka.
It appears that my dreaded dead battery syndrome has finally been solved. 
I hold up to all the after-run relay as the culprit. Once I found the 
relay (under the dash) and opened it up it was easy to determine that 
some of the electricals were fried. The radiator fan would run after 
shutting off the car (12-15 min) because the under hood sensor was saying 
it was too hot. Well, my most awesome mechanic had a used relay hanging 
around and he said "try it" (did open it, no burnt offerings inside). 
Temperature today was over 90, had A/C on, when I stopped the car, fan 
would run for 3-4 minutes and then only stage 1 or 2. Previously I was 
getting 15 minutes of stage 3 blast.

This, coupled with my new clutch and slave cylinder has returned my 5 to 
the rippin' road hugger I love.

Thanks to all who offered insights on this problem.
