I have a 1997 chrysler van and it keeps running after I turn it off?

Question 1
I have a 1997 chrysler van and it keeps running after I turn it off?...  Like, it sounds like the fan is still running. My husband and I are both not car savvy.. any ideas? Thanks!
Yes, but it was running for like 30+ minutes. We drove home, and it was making the same noise.
We removed the relay, the fan shut off and then replaced it.. turned the van on/off and it stayed off. Whew!

3)   Thats probably normal for a few minutes for the fan to keep running. If it stays on, somethings wrong. - John

4)   ignition broken - Tech-Guy_81

5)   Likely the fan is supposed to run after the car has been shut off. - TardisAndTheHare

Question 3
Battery problem in a Chrysler Cirrus-what is going on?...  My 1998 Chrysler Cirrus keeps dying out. We would jump the car off but the battery light would continue to flash on and off signaling that there was something going on with the battery. We checked it out and found that the battery was no good and replaced it. Well after replacing it, the light came on again and after turning the car off the car died again and we have to keep jumping it to get it started. What could be draining a new battery. #!1 we had an ignition problem where as the key got stuck in the ignition, we got the key out but now when we drive it in order to pull the key out we can not turn the switch all the way to the off position, in other words we have to turn it once to pull the key out and leave it in that position. We're not sure if the car is all the way off. All of the lights on the dash goes off but not really sure if it all the way off or not. #2 We have a huge stereo system in it that could be draining the battery. We have had the stereo system and the problem with the ignition for a while now but the car has never died out but it does drag to start. My husband thinks that we don't have enough amps in the battery to handle such a huge stereo system, I think that it's something else because the battery should have been dying out long before now and it wasn't. What could be going on? Could it be a bad alternator? Please help?

Answers
1)   Sounds like alternator............yes
To test this theory start car and while car is running disconnect negative lead from your battery.
If your car dies then its your alternator....if car continues running you have other problems - vanman

2)   DO NOT Disconnect the battery terminal while the car is running you will burn your PCM (computer). Check 1-) alternator output, 2-) check for current draw. You also fixed ignitions system your ignition might cause current draw. - Halil Gungor

3)   It could be that your charging system is not keeping the battery charged. If it starts right back up after a nice long drive, then that is not it. However, if it ALSO will not start after sitting overnight, I would say you have a ground fault in your ignition switch that is draining the battery. - class510

4)   If you didn't have the problem before the key issue, then I would say you now have an ignition switch problem. - Jackolantern

Question 4
97 Plymouth Voyager problem-Relay or Fuse?...  The dash lights are out and the right rear tail lights.I changed the fuse and it blows when I turn on the headlights.Ive changed the bulbs and checked all possible fuses.the relays under the dash are not labeled so I have no idea what they do.The head lights and dome lights all work fine.Ive checked all the relays under the hood and the seem fine I used the horn relay to check the others.Now as an update the right rear brake and parking lights wont work even with new bulb and the left rear brake and tail lights are stuck ON.The rear hatch brake light also will not light up. Im sure something is blown and messing it all up but I don't have enough beer or patience to figure it out please help.Also not my vehicle
Where is the switch located?

Answers
1)   As far as the brake lights staying on, that sounds like a stuck brake light switch. For the dashlights blowing out, sounds like a short circuit somewhere in the system. I would recommend having the wiring checked for breaks in the wires. - Brian and Nellanna

2)   Ok well first this is going to cost you a 36 pack cube. First does the car have a trailer hitch (aftermarket). Check the wiring to make sure no wires are shorted or exposed. For sure its not a relay or fuse, also get into the diagnosis system and see if the body computer has any fault codes. only other resort is to get a wiring diagram and trace down each wire to see if you got a short
Good Luck - rick b

3)   You have a wiring problem! Does this van have a trailer hitch? If so, the lights on the trailer it towed could have been blowing fuses and the driver replaced the fuses with higher amp fuses and overheated the wires. Check wires coming off the headlamp switch for possible overheating and sticking together. If so, you may have to replace the entire wiring harness in the dash. This happens quite a lot on Dodge pickup around that year........Just a thought. But regardless, you do have a wiring problem ! - Jackolantern

Question 5
How long will a 1998 chrysler sebring last with 200,000 miles on it?...  I'm looking at a really cool 98' Chrysler Sebring but it has 200,00 miles on it. I wanted to know about how many more miles I can put on it without replacing parts or stuff like that because I don't know about cars. Please someone answer this if you actually know about cars. I don't want ignorance. Thanks

Answers
1)   It all depends on how it was taken care of and how you take care of it. - mister

2)   Like Mister said it all depends on how well it was taken care of, BUT that being said, 200K, as a mechanic I would buy it because I would get it at a real cheap price or not buy it, with the knowledge I would be rebuilding the engine soon. As you as a consumer and not knowing much about cars, I would pass.
Just because you buy it, doesn't mean the engine wear and mileage starts all over again and you are buying someone else very used car, Expect problems - rick b

3)   it depends if you keep it maintneced or not i have seen vehicles with over 600.00 miles on it and all the owner did was keep it serviced.it will last as long as you want it to as long as you keep tuned and ready - Matthew
