Unhappy Fan Motor not workin

I have a major issue. My fan motor stopped working and my car kept overheating. So my husband both a new relay and it still did not work.
So it was winter time so we waited and and both a new fan motor and it still did not work.
He saw also that the radiator was leaking so he replaced the radiator for a new one and went and bought a new relay kit with the wires and replaced it again.
It worked for about 5 minutes and then he shut car off. Over a 10 minutes I took the car for a ride and tried it again to see if working he overheated again.
So he went to the part store again and both a new relay and it worked but the fan would not shut off. He had to pull out the fuse in the box for it to stop.
He thought it might be the fuse so he replaced the fuse with a new one.
Still did not work.
So we returned the relay from earlier in the day that we bought and replaced it again and again the fan does not stop it keeps running with even the aginition off.
We do not no what else to do.
Does anyone out there know what this might be.

Stressed in RI

Just buy a 5$ switch and wire it to the battery and you can turn it on when you need to

Do you know what might be the issue though. Do you think I should buy a relay from the dealer.

It wouldn't be the relay, you have a wiring problem somewhere.
