Default Cooling fans running non-stop...

Just thought of this...

I believe both fans on my 88' accord dx run non-stop. I have tried pulling and switching the relays with the same relay from different relay spot...which shut it off....but the other relay didnt do anything. I have pulled the plug from the sensor and it did shut off...just to turn back on when I plugged it back in.

Does it sound like the sensor needs replaced or should I check somewhere else?

Are you talking about the sensor in bottom of the radiator?
