Still waiting in the dark for my bently manual....

The fan comes on high as soon as you turn the key on. Unplugging the temp sensor in the rad won't make it turn off, nor will unplugging the temp sensor in the head.

My fan is stuck on high. Pulling the purple fan relay will cause the fan to go off. Turning on the AC (with the purple relay out) won't kick the fan on. Swapping in a yellow relay in place of the purple one will kick the fan back on.

Something is telling the high fan to come on as soon as the car is powered up.

Ideas?
