Default Odd Fan behavior

I mentioned this before but I was looking into it again last night

I have a fan with a mind of its own it seems. At first i thought it was Fan2 but it is Fan1. Sometimes on start within 5-10 seconds it will run, even when the car is cold (sitting for a few days)

Last night it did not turn on right away but did soon after the car was started. When i got home form using the car I connected my laptop to it, there was no fan requests of any type and the ECM was not commanding the fans (1 or2) on, yet fan #1 was running.

The only thing I can think of is that possibly the ground wire for the relay is shorted to ground some where, I need to spend more time looking into it, but I thought I would post to see if anyone else had some ideas

on the positive side, at least the fans runs instead of not running at all

I also did check the CTS and it seems to be reporting the correct Temp as well

Nope, swapped it twice

also with the relay unplugged, the control side of relay lights up the test light
