Does the fan run on high speed or low speed ?
That will tell you which circuit your problem is in.
I see what you're saying. I was thinking there may be something that can tell there's no current flowing on that circuit (because its is open due to the corrosion) and defaults to turning on the fan. I will have to check but the fan seems to be running pretty fast.
