Cooling fans stay on all the time... WHY?
Help a brotha out...
I have a stock as it gets 89 si.
Both the cooling fans runs all the time.
Kill the ignition they will go off, switch it on, they begin to run again.
I replaced the coolant temp switch thinking it would be the source of the problem since both fans run independantly, but it didn't. I've found the a/c fan relay, and disconnecting it kills power to the a/c fan, but reconnecting only powers it back on. I have to assume the source of the problem is before both fan relays... but what? Best I can tell, the fans have not been wired to the switch for power. Like I said, this car is stock..

Maybe you fan switches.....when you start the car in the morning when its cold do they turn on the minute you start your car and stay running???
it almost has to be in the wiring - sounds to me like they are wired to come on when ignition switch is on - normally, the condenser fan for the A/C will only come on when the A/C is on and the radiator fan will only come on when coolant temp is about 195 degrees - for them both to come on when the engine is cold would indicate to me that they are wired together and wired into something that is "hot" with ignition on - i would check all of the wiring:

unless you are the first owner of the car theres no way of knowing wether its stock or not. you need wiring diagram and test light
