Circuit to run radiator fans after shutdown to avoid heat soak?

Hi all,
Would like to add a circuit to run radiator fans after shutdown to avoid heat soaking the engine compartment wiring, etc. Has anyone here done this?

I'm sure you would do well with a basic turbo timer. It will allow the engine to run at idle for a predetermined amount of time after the ignition is shut off. This will probably be a lot easier and more efficient
