      Well its obvious that it's getting direct power. so either your switch is faulty or something else its the thermoswitch on the rad. First make sure your a/c switch is depressed. If this doesn't change things change the switch to see if that turns it off. The thermo sensor sends a signal to the aux fan to come on after the a/c switch is depressed and is regulated by the rad temp. they all have a 2 speed - high and low. Unless I am mistaken and I've just been smoking too much crack!

        Either something is wrong with the car's wiring or relay K1 or K6 is shorted. If the ignition is off, it doesn't matter what state the A/C button is in. K1 & K6 coil power is only available when the ignition is on.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
