This tells me that someone has bypassed the Cooling Fan Relay and wired the fan "Hot at all times" when the ignition switch is on. Look at the pic below, the
Lt Blue (Light Blue) wire feeds directly from the Cooling fan relay terminal
B7 to the Cooling fan + Terminal......Buy a
new cooling fan relay,
completly remove the wire that they "Rigged up" to bypass the relay from the Blue Cooling fan wire, tape up any open wire connections where they installed the bypass wire, then install your new relay in the underhood relay center. Due to the fact that it's Winter now, You'll have to run the car parked / Idle until it reaches a temp where the cooling fan will kick on at it's designated temp to properly test and see if the new relay is engaging the fan circut properly?.....Unless you live in a failry warm temp state in March?
