Radiator Fan on all the time??

So i got my engine swap after the Wal-mart/Fram fiasco(Fram Filter Recall + Blown engine), and I've noticed that as soon as I turn the key the fans turns on and it seems like the thing is running as long as the engine is on. Is this something I should worry about? Is there a way I can see if the place jerry-rigged it?

TIA
James

IIRC, this can be caused by disconnecting the temperature sensor in the radiator. Verify that it's plugged in.

Oh, and 'grats on getting them to replace the engine. Just curious, did Walmart foot the bill, or Fram?

IIRC, it's right at the radiator, either on the inlet or outlet. Somebody chime in if I'm wrong about that.

A/C also control the fan. There's a relay inside fuses box that could go bad.
