Did you see the solutions in the other thread? The thermostat seems to be a major one.

The temp was normal after the new temp sensor was installed and battery disconnected and reconnected.

In HP Tuners I can see what temp they are set at......usually self destruct mode from the factory. Temps very high

I set mine to run after shutdown for 3 min to pull off extra heat. If yours are running, you probably have a glitchy sensor that doesn't read correctly on the high end. Fans running after KEY OFF isn't going to hurt a thing until you get it fixed.

replace the sensor with a new oem one is most likely going to be the solution there is a RASH OF DEFECTIVE ONES OUT THERE, this same exact thing comes up on here once a month like clockwork
