Thanks Neil,

I now believe the one on the driver's side is the Engine Temp fan, and the other is the AC fan. I had not thought about the fact that the Climate Control being on would cause the AC fan to always be on.
Now I can test that.
I just got a Haynes manual, and it is a little confusing as it jumps from the previous model period to another model period, and then to mine. But I think it only shows one temp sensor, and the car's electronics must sort out when to turn on the fan relay.
I will look for the fan relay, and can check there to see voltages.
