engine running on with key removed?

morning everybody,

now my car is back on the road with its new engine ive got a couple of problems as you do with a new instlation.

now the problem i have is that when i go to turn the engine off it runs on till the hp fuel pump stops running, can be from a second up to 3,
now i have a blocking diode in the alternator warning light so its no that.

now i think i have worked out that it only does it when the fan is running!!

but i dont know why having the fan running is causing the engine to run on and i dont know where to start looking to fix the problem.

help please

tommy

The fan running will be acting as an alternator whilst it spins down...

Or wire a relay in for the fan?
