When I turn off the ignition on my Tl. A fan in the engine compartment blows for a few minutes. Is this normal? Will it wear my battery down? Could it be some kind of aftermarket goody? Could it have something to do with the remote start system? Confused as hell on this one.

yes it is normal =)

Perfectly normal- will run to keep the underhood temp from climbing too high if it is hot and you shut down. Nothing to worry about.

Yes, its normal and Yes it will run your battery down.

I've gotten in the habit of running my engine b/w 1,500 to 2,000rpms for a couple of seconds before I turn the car off whenever I go on a short trip where the battery might not have a chance to recharge itself after the drain from starting the engine.
