This is a simple issue.. and there are 2 ways to fix it.


1) leave it as it is.. just put a switch in there.. so when your temp guage gets up.. flick on the fans... thats the easy way out.


2) get either a temp senor trigger and install it into your water line.. ( this is a switch that will automatically turn your fans on when its hot enough) or if you can.. wire the fans to your ecu.. the ecu should know when the temp is up and turn on the fans.

your current thermo switch is possibly screwed or not grounding properly. Check it hasn't been disconnected or fiddle with it, it could be loose

check the sender in the remote thermostate housing.. when it is in good working order.. and you unplug this the fans remain on.. i think i have a spare one..
