EDIT: Well I unplugged it, gave it a good blow and plugged it back in.
Will see how it goes on the drive into work tomorrow.

I was under the impression that the ecu did all the fan turning on and off based on what the brown temperature sensor was reading. Try giving the brown connector a good cleaning with some electrical contact cleaning solution (spray can) before replacing it and if the connectors are pitted use some fine sand paper. I find that it is the only connector that gets dirt in it due to its mounting position. Without a coolant temp, the ecu runs the fans all the time to protect the engine. its part of the safe mode or limp home setup coded into the ecu in the event a sensor goes out it can compensate for that particular one.
the fan on mine has never worked - changed everything like the sensor, relay, fuse, etc. Got the fan rigged to a seperate switch, which is the only way it works. probably something buggered inside the ecu, i havent had it checked properly yet.

I'll see what happens on the drive home.
EDIT: The fan didn't turn on at all driving home, either it's working properly now or it's not working at all!
