there is a fan switch in your pass side head try changing this to see if that works. before you do that take a look at the wiring that goes to the fan mayby someone re routed the wires so that it is on at all times.

Took me a while but I think he said his fan comes on as soon as he turns the key on, unless he unplugs the fan relay all together.
That it does the same even with a new relay. And that he has had new relays prove defective out of the box.

Sounds like the fan switch on the passenger cylinder head is bad like Scooter said, or the wire from it is grounded/shorted out. Basically, unplug the fan switch, and see if the fan stops running. If it doesn't, the wire from it, to the relay, is shorted to ground. The switch is mounted between number 6 and 8 spark plugs.

And speaking of sense. I'm not faulting the interpretation, but if you are right, 86PACER, his actions make no more sense than his writing. If he knows "...that he has had new relays prove defective out of the box.", then he knows a good from a bad relay. If so, I have to wonder why, "it does the same even with a new relay", he changed the relay in the first place???
Based on your best guess, I'd have to say scooter18155 and Jamey are on the right track.
RACE ON!!!

well pappy sounds like you got to trace some wires to see if you can find your problem. it sounds as if thats your problem. like cfi said a fsm will do you wonders. and the coments about your typing isnt meant in a bad way its just that the better we can understand you the better we can help you. as far as im getting you determined (1)the relay isnt your problem and (2) the switch in the head isnt causing your fan to come on you also need to verrify that someone hasnt hot wired your fan to stay on at all times. look at the wires going directly to the fan and follow them to see if they go to the correct places or if someone spliced them somewheres they shouldnt be. some backyard mechanics might wire a fan this way to help keep engine temps down. also check the wires jamey mentioned it is possable those wires went bad as well.

fan was fine befoe...so nawt wired direct... unpluggin relay n turnin off key is ony way ta stop fan... unpluggin rightbank sensor n fan stays on...it should stop ifn sensor bad right??? n the sensor in the aircomp.will stop fan when unplug also.... so since two of 3 will shut it off....could it be the rightbank sensor??? i were told they shut off when unplug ifn bad ...n it doesnt so figure good... i afta chase a wire i rekon...thanks rednecks the pappster ..nee any help wid ol shovelheads maybe i kin return the favor

Burning Brakes
When a battery is disconnected then reconnected, the air conditioner turns itself on. When the air conditioner is on, the fan runs continuously. Turn the a/c off and I'll bet the fan turns off.
