It sounds like you have a short in your electrical system. Use a test light and check for power at the fan connector when you attach the battery cable. if the fan was running before, you should have power. Disconnect or remove the relays and fuses one at a time until the power goes out. The fues or relay you remove that kills the power is the one with the problem. Start checking the connections for a wire burned and melted into another. It must be getting power from a battery wire somewhere. Be sure to check for melted connections at the fuse or relay connectors. If you can't get it to power down at all, start running the wiring from the fan motor until you find the problem. You will probably have to separate the harness to do this. There are also two temp sensors on the car. One is for the gauge and one is for the fan. Make sure you replaced the right one. The fan will also run when the ac is on as well as the defrost. make sure they are turned off.

Do batteries have to be replaced simultaneously with alternators. I replaced my alternator but was told it likely damaged the old battery so I'll need to replace it. True?
No, the battery may be defective and the alternator may be just fine or vice versa. Saying that if the alternator was overcharging the battery it may very well have destroyed a good battery. Just have the battery checked at any auto parts store.
How do you replace the alternator on a 1997 Pontiac Firebird?
Hello, I have a 1997 Firebird V-6. It is right on top. Just remove the serpentine belt from the alternator, unplug the electrical connection on the back of the alternator, remove the mounting bolts and install the new alternator. I have not replaced one in my bird yet, but I checked the Hanes manual and it is the same. I am not a professional mechanic, but I have replaced a few in my lifetime. Good luck. John
Why does the 2001 Hyundai xg300 radio wipers and hazards turn on and off by themselves?
With my xg 300, the radio was turning on and off on it's own. I checked the battery and it was bad. Replaced it. Now it's fine again. Go to auto parts store and have your battery checked just in case. Could also be loose battery cables.
