Radiator fan always running?

Hi, where should I starting looking for a fix for a radiator fan that is always running when the car is? The car is a 1990 Corolla. Even after sitting for several days, the fan starts when the car starts. The car has a/c, and this problem occurs whether the a/c is on or off.

first there should be a water thermo-switch that tells the fan when to turn on, I would check that, I think it's the sensor in the coolant neck where the thermo-stat is.

did it always do this? it's possible a previous owner jerry-rigged it to run all the time instead of fixing something that was bad.
