My 2012 mini cooper radiator fan did not stop when I shut off the motor.
What is your question?
Tonight my 2012 mini cooper radiator fan did not stop when I shut off the motor after driving about a one and a half hours. After an hour I checked and it is still running. Suspect thermostat, as that was the cause of a fan short run-on a few years ago. It's Saturday night - if it runs on until Monday when I can go to a dealer I fear the battery will be dead. How can I manually stop it?
What makes this problem better or worse?

How long has your 2012 Mini Cooper had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2012 Mini Cooper. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The only thing I can think to suggest is to disconnect the battery. You could also find the relay or fuse for the cooling fan using your owners guide as a resource, and try to remove that. Just don't forget to reinstall when driving.
