Time it. It's probably 10 minutes.

shouldn't be coming on unless your car is getting really hot.. check all your ducting, my fans would never run after the car was off unless i got doing a bunch of highway pulls on my stock motor.

You are definitely running WAY too hot.

My fans have continued running after shut-off only one time in 1-1/2 years of ownership. That was after two back-to-back runs at the dragstrip in 100 degree heat.

Check your thermostat and radiator out.
