16 valve fan issue
 
hi, i've got an '85 euro 16 valve, and suddenly both of the fans are always running. the electric fan in front of the radiator goes on the moment i turn the key, and the main fan behind the radiator locks into place as well, and turns as soon as i start the engine. (perhaps the main fan always did this, and i didn't notice it before, but i sort of thought it only engaged when the engine got hot). normally, i think the smaller electric fan in front only went on when i turned on the a/c, and perhaps also when the engine got too hot.

so i'm confused, and sadly underinformed about my car. hope you guys can help me. thanks, randy

Start by unplugging relays in the fuse box,
or temp switches on the water jacket at the front of the head,
