The fan turning on after the ignition is turned off is normal on a car if the engine is hot or "thinks" its hot.You have a wide range of issues there and the question is did it all happen at once or over a period. Have you or previous owners altered the wiring( spots, sterio, etc) or is there any damage to the loom. If it all came at once I would think it is an earthing issue.
Bini owner and proud of it.
