1986 Porche 944 with 106,000 miles. I recently had the battery replaced. Then the next time I went to drive it the battery was dead again. I was told the reason the battery died was not the alternator, but was because the cooling fan relay was faulty and the cooling fan would not stop. I replaced the fan relay, but noticed the cooling fan still does not stop. I take out the relay and the fan stops. I put the relay in and the fan starts regardless if the car is hot or cold. What could be causing the cooling fan to not turn off? And what do I need to replace to make it work? I have no problems with a dead battery as long as I remove the relay while the car is parked for extended periods of time.

Thanks for the tip. The mechanic also confirmed the cooling fan switch was faulty. Had it replaced. Car was great for about 4 days. Went out this AM and the battery was dead. Jumped it okay. Car drove great. Got to work and noticed the cooling fan didn't go off after 30 minutes. I pulled the relay out. Any suggestions as to whatthe problem is now?

thanks
