I found this post by Bizar01, Will this be the "fix"?

My fan is now cycling on and off even with the A/C off.

For some reason, the DME (ECM) is preventing my fan to run with the A/C off. I accessed the slow speed relay socket through the bottom of the fuse panel in the engine compartment. I was able to pull it up by unscrewing the 4 torx head screws. I spliced a wire at terminal 85 of the relay and just run it straight to the low temp (80C) contacts of the radiator fan switch. Now the fan runs when called for and stops when no longer needed.

Anyone know if this will work for me?
