I've seen more than a few of these where people have hard-wired the fans to stay on all the time. Normally this involves jumping the hot-switch (otterstat) but there are many places to do it. For a while it was popular to wire the rear defrost switch to turn the fans on! (I don't need no stinkin' rear defroster!). If it spontaneously occurred, look for a bad otterstat or a stuck fan relay. To check, unplug the 'stat (in the water pipe to the left of the engine). Still on? Unplug the fan relay. The fans are also turned on via the relay thru a diode in parallel with the A/C compressor as it cycles on and off, but that does not sound like your problem. It's not a very complex circuit. I'd vote for the 'stat. Dave Swingle
