    As soon as I turn my truck off my engine fan light comes on and stays on , driving me nuts appears to work as it should going down the road , with ac. On or off usually manually engage it around 200 cause it doesn't come on till after 215 i wanna say , I'm at a loss ideas as to why it's turning itself on or at least the dash light when trucks key is off ...thanks

    With the truck off the fan clutch solenoid closes releasing the air from the fan clutch and engaging it as if it were on(air to clutch fan released(off) air away from clutch fan engaged(on)), this is perfectly normal and the light should go off once the dash goes dead.

    But everything is off , manually not engaged and not engaged when shut off , light on dash comes on as soon as you shut the truck down and stays on I'm talking for hours I don't know exactly how long cause I only let it go for 4 hrs last night before I fired the truck back up , as soon as you start the truck light goes out , unless my hub is leaking enough air that as soon as the trucks not running to supply constant air the hub engages ?

    By design it's supposed to engage once the engine is shut off, and the light will come on if the dash is active (key in the on or accessory position). However once the dash shuts off the light should go out.
    Most hubs are disengaged by air and engaged by taking the air away

    Ok got some new info , the ignition switch isn't fully shutting off it seems to go from on to accessory even though it's in the middle.. is this a bad ignition switch or a relay somewhere and how do I test , with truck key off and pulled out I can still run my heater controls and anything that should be accessory but I blow the 10 amp fuse..
