Gregory:
My just started doing the same thing - radiator fan always on as the key is
turned.  The only change that I made in the engine compartment was that I
discovered that I forgot to reconnect the copper ground strap from the left
side near the coil to the engine.  After I did this that radiator fan stopped
coming on as the key was turned. ??? Go figure.
