Default 88 Dakota Radiator Fan Stuck On

I noticed the last couple days that the radiator fan was staying on after I turned the truck off. Sometimes I could get it to turn off by turning the ignition on and off a couple times or turning the A/C on and off a couple times. But, the other night it wouldn't turn off no matter what I did and it drained my battery to nothing. Not sure where to start. Does anybody know what the problem could be?

I assume its an electrical fan??? Might check the relay. Maybe its stuck open.

I bought the truck used and it had an electric fan on it. It is the 2.2L 2BB carb. I'll try and replace the relay, hopefully I can find it easily.
