from reading your last post here are some ideas:
The fans are running constantly because you have them set to go on at the operating temp of the motor. A 180 deg thermostat has an operating range of 180-190 degrees, and should be fully open in this range to maintain engine temp of 190-210. If your fans are set to go live at 190, they will not shut off because this is the operating temp of the motor. If your net goal is to get the fans to cycle, move the temp on their controller up to the 210-220 range, which is where most oe fans are set to engage now. IMHO, I would let the fans run constantly when KOER (Key On Engine Running). They do not draw any significant amount of amps, and it is a little peace of mind. I would also make sure the circuit goes dead with the ignition...it may save a finger someday!
