Default 89 Prelude cooling fan problems

I have a 89 Prelude with a 90 motor The cooling fan comes on when the car is off and stays on till the batery is dead. Sometimes I can turn the key to the on position and the fan will stop but goes right back on when I turn the key off.

Sure could use some help with this one

Thanks
Tim

Check your fuses and relays. Do you have a check engine light?

It seems decent in the book...I think you were pulling out the Coolant Temp sensor. The one your looking for is on the bottom of the radiator right next to the radiator hose.
