Engine Fan

Over the course of the last few days I have noticed that my engine fan will not shut down when I am driving at speed. I can hear it running constantly. All of my temps are right where they are supposed to be, in fact my trans temp is actually cooler than normal. Has anyone ever experienced the same problem? If so, what was the fix? Thanks

fan clutch not disengaging? do you by chance have a P0483 code for a fan speed error? or or maybe if t-stat was bad the fan would keep running. but i've known of more than a few of these electrically controlled viscous fan clutches that have had some issues....

I just took it for another drive after disconnecting the batteries to reset the computer, that didnt help. Im not getting any codes but I did notice that the temp was fluctuating between 185 and 200 pretty consistantly. I stopped and put it in park for a few minutes and it cooled down immediatley, then when I took off again, no fan. Within a few secs it started to creep up towards 200 and the fan kicked on again. Thermostat maybe?
