What year? What engine? If you have the HVAC control head set in defog or a/c it is normal for the cooling fan to run.

Re: Saturn Vue fan problem

Sorry, even if i have it set for floor heat it comes on.I had the rad flushed and changed coolant since it has 160,000 kms on it but no difference. I thought about the thermostat but i get good heat from it and the temp gauge is where it should be.

Would need to check for any codes stored, also would need to monitor inputs to the ecm as well as ecm ouputs. That way you would be able to see what coolant temp the ecm is reading, a/c pressure switch reading, hvac commanded status, ect..., car should be taken to a capable shop for diag.
