You seem intelligent, but when you screw up simple words like "are" and "the", the effect is quickly spoiled.

Sounds like the fans have been permanently wired "on", due to a previous sensor failure.

Check for power at the switch leads, jumping them should activate the fan, and opening the circuit should kill the fan. Keep your fingers away from things that spin.

You can also use hot water and a meat thermometer to find out if the switch functions. At room temperature the switch should obviously not pass current. At whatever the temp threshold for the fans activating is, the switch should close (pass current). The temp threshold is somewhere in the service book, that you bought after getting the car, being someone who owns a 20+ year old car and works on it themself.

I'm not sure if the 3g has a fan relay or not, being that my 2g doesn't, but if it does, check that too.

I expect proper use of simple words in your next post.

I'm almost positive one of the sensor in the radiator is your culprit.
Check the service manual for testing them.

My favorite JY in CT no longer lets people pull stuff out of the cars. Why? Because of thieves like you. If there's one thing that is constant throughout history, it's that it isn't cool to be a thief. And it's even less cool to brag about it. Grow up.
