When you say constantly do you mean all the time?
Also, can you advise on what car it is that you have, details etc??
On a few of our cars, there is an fan that continues to run for about 5-10 minutes after the car is switched off.

Oh well - at least the fans actually work.
Is the aircon/climate control switched on? That causes the fans to engage IIRC, but I don't think this is your problem.
There's a 'fan controller', located just under the battery, sometimes this can go bad, when it does you fans won't behave properly. On mine the fans were totally dead but I seem to remember seeing posts somewhere about the fans always being on.
I picked up another fan controller from a breakers for about £25 but they're closer to £100 new. Part on mine was 1J0 919 506 K. There seem to be loads on ebay.
