The cooling fan on my @002 S Jaguar stays on for about 1 to 3 minutes after I turn off the motor. We also hear it while we are driving. Two dealers say it is normal and 2 dealers say bring it in for a check. An excellent mechanic scoped it out and stated it is fine. Whom do I trust?

The fan runs when it needs to run, whether the engine is running or not. Sounds normal to me.
