Want this question answered?
I have seen this before more than likely your coolant sensor has a internal short and needs to be replaced.
Either the fan motor or the sensor needs to be replaced. or your thermostat is stuck.
If the coolant fan does not operate on a Chevy Corsica, it is likely that a fuse is out. There could also be a mechanical defect in the fan or wiring.
Low coolant? Radiator plugged or restricted? Water pump not circulating coolant? Cooling fan not working? Thermostat not opening? Cooling system airbound?
The coolant fan is triggered by a temperature sensitive switch. when coolant reaches a certain temp it turns the fan on. When the coolant drops below that temp it shuts off the fan. The ignition switch plays no part in the operation of the cooling fan.
someone obviously did your head gasket wrong. if it's a 3.1, did they bleed air from system using the valve on coolant rail. this can cause air trapped in the system to boil the coolant.

I have a 1996 Jetta. If you have the older body style then it is directly beneath the round coolant expansion tank, attached to the strut tower. It is a black rectangular box with fuses under a clear plastic cover. You'll need to unscrew the coolant expansion tank to get at the fan control module. It is susceptible to being doused with coolant which might cause the fan control module to short.
The coolant fan may have a blown fuse. The electric motor, on the coolant fan may be not working. The ground wire on the cooling fan may be corroded or loose.
I could be completely wrong, but I think they share the same sensor. If there's two sensors for the coolant, one usually goes to a gauge and the other is used by the computer, which in turn controls the fan activation and speed.
cools the engine. without a fan, the car will overheat and the coolant will boil. the fan controls this from happening by cooling the coolant as it passes through the radiator.
You probably have a cracked head gasket!!!!! You probably have a cracked head gasket!!!!! Check coolant to see if there is oil in the coolant this will prove it or if you have foam in coolant overflow check coolant resevior cap
