My 03 Outlander had the same issue. One day after tuning the car off the fan continued to run for about 10 seconds. I also noticed the fan would turn on randomly when the engine was still cold. After researching online I found the TSB and decided to order the part and replace it my self since the Mitsubishi dealers near me went out of business. Once I received the new fan controller I did the swap in about 5 minutes. The problem went way and the fan is working normally.

I have a Mitsubishi outlander 2003. Recently I am having a lots of problem with the cooling fans. When I am stocked in heavy traffic the fan does not kick in, therefor the temp. gage rises to red, which in that case I have to shut the engine off for few minutes until it cools down. 6 months ago I replaced the double fan assembly, worked for few weeks only, the problem stated again, it stop working, I replaced the magnetic switch controller, again worked for few weeks and back to the same problem, at last I replaced the thermostat, it worked for few weeks again now same problem is back.
 Has anybody experienced a similar problem, if yes what needs to be done to fixed this.

I had the same problem,then I contact the Mitsubishi dealer. There is a recall on that model for the cooling fan controller. Please check with your dealer.
