One fan with the white/red stripe and blue wires should always be on with key on. Other runs when commanded. The first one stated runs off fan relay 3 in relay pack under left headlight. It gets power from a fusible link from battery. Fusible link is a smaller gauge wire spliced to a larger gauge wire usually coming out of the main fuse panel. If you have a test light, pull fan relay 3 and two terminals should have power. Also check Ign fuse in fuse panel left of steering wheel. Will be 7.5 amp fuse.

That's a great start. Try swapping that relay with another one like it. If fan comes on and stays on with key on, replace relay.
