Re: [DML] Fans go on with ignition key...

Not quite.  As long as your thermostat is working properly, the 
engine should never run below the thermostat setting once it 
has warmed, up regardless of the state of the fans.  If the coolant
returning from the radiator is "too cool", the thermostat will simply 
close and keep the coolant in the block until it warms up again.
