Camaro fans do not stay on when you turn the car off or if the ignition is off. There are some cars that the fans stay on, but as far as I know, camaro's do not.

Check for a sticking fan relay. I had that problem with my '84 T/A before the relay just quit working period.

they dont stay on if you were to turn off your car and take your keys with you. but if say you were to stay in your car listenin to some tunes with the key in the "on" position, yes the fan will stay on.
