Default Electric fan won't go off... please help!!

I got a 99 xj, 4.0l. drove it around all day yesterday, losts of stops, got home late last night, and turned it off, but the electric fan staid on.

I thought maybe it would go off after a bit, and of course woke up to a dead battery. I know nothing about cars. I am in a wheelchair and can't get under the hood. but my dad went to charge it for me, and said the fan immediately came on, but then he wiggled something he thought was a fuse and it went off.

does it even have a fuse???

so did a little reading, some said it is probably the relay and i either need to tap it a bit, and or replace it.

The Help part!! I don't know where to find the relay for the fan?? Picture would be great!!!
Can you tell me what kind i need to buy to replace it??

Had the same issue, checked by swapping with the ASD relay...had a funky XJ while doing that, it would run for 1-2 more seconds once the key was already taken out. Replaced it with a new relay, all good.
Did you fix yours already?

yeah. well sort of.

put the battery on the charger, and the fan instantly came back on. so i tapped the relay box a few times and it wen't off... and hasn't done it again. that was 2 weeks ago i think.

so for now, the old tappa tappa worked.
