I can not think of a reason why turning the ignition switch on would turn the fans on. The fan relay on the firewall has a positive feed that is always hot. The negative feed to the relay goes through 1) a thermostatic switch in the radiator hose; and 2) a manual switch on the dash. The negative feed for the fans themselves comes off the X-member at the front of the car.

Put everything back as per the previous post, then gently wiggle things under the dash -- see what happens. Then turn the key on, gently wiggle things under the dash -- see what happens.

Just to check -- this car was wired by the boys at ERA and has not been touched by anyone else, correct?
