Charlie,
The power to the fan is always hot to the relay. The relay control power is switched. It sounds like your relay contacts may be stuck or welded. I would try rapping on the relay to see if it will shake loose. Sounds like time to replace the relay
.Good luck.

Subject: [DeTomaso] A/C fan question
The car ran fantastic all weekend. Perhaps the best it has ever run,
knock on wood. This of course means it will all self-destruct next
month pulling out of our driveway to attend Le Mans, but let's hope
not.
I do have one problem. The A/C worked fine. But when I pulled into the
garage after the 4 hour drive home, the condenser fan kept running,
even when I turned the car off and removed the key.
Wondering if the circuit was always hot and it would shut itself off
once the car cooled down I disconnected the battery and reconnected it
today after coming home from work. The fan starts up as soon as I
connect the battery.
1) Is the condenser fan always hot? Kind of surprising if it is
2) My A/C has worked for very little of my
ownership so I'm kind of a
rookie regarding troubleshooting. Where do I begin to look to see
what's happening? What has shorted out or what has broken if the fan
never shuts off?
3) I don't have access to the Fuse List for a Factory GT5-S - if I
can't find the problem before Le Mans and I want to disable the fan,
which fuse is it, and what shares that circuit if anything?
Thanks!
