Check the cooling fan relay. Water could have gotten to it causing it to remain stuck and turning the fans on.

The fans are commonly known as radiator or condenser cooling fan. Driver side is condenser fan.

Is your engine carburetted or fuel injected? Both have different wiring system.

Condenser fan relay is on fuse/relay box underhood. Try pulling out the relay when fan starts working. Use another to substitiue to test.
