Unhappy cooling fan help!!!

I own a 96 mustang gt and for some weird reason the cooling fan never turns off after my car reaches normal temp.I have read posts bout other fellow mustang owners when their fan never comes on but as u can read I have the opposite problem.my temperature gauge works normal.seating from middle back to cold side but never overheats.could a bad temp sensor cause my fan to run constantly?my vehicle has two sensors but i dunno which one to check?thanks in advance.....

Is the fan running when you first turn the car on from sitting for several hours?

It could also be a clogged radiator with insufficient cooling capacity UNLESS the fan is running--a flow check of the radiator would prove or disprovve this...

HEY IM NO EXPERT BUT YOU COULD TROUBLE SHOOT YOUR PROBLEM BY FIRST CHECKING THE RELAY IN THE FUES BOX IT MIGHT HAVE A CONTACT FROSE. OR LIKE
CLIFFYK SAID THE RADIATOR MIGHT BE CLOGED? WHAT DEGREE THERMOSTAT ARE YOU USING AND DO YOU HAVE A TUNE ON THE CAR? THIS MIGHT BE HELPFULL FOR YOU... WHAT I WOULD DO IF YOU CANT FIND THE PROB BEFORE YOU BURN THE MOTOR IN THE FANS IS REWIRE AND PUT A SWITCH ON IT.
