Umm, unless it's fitted with the same engine as a townace, no we can't. Have you a manual or wiring diagram? What diagnosis have you attempted already?
Engine type?

You could replace the temp sensor for the fan?
Otherwise there must be a short, or it has been deliberately wired to stay on for some reason.
If its a new acquisition then someone may have bridged the wires to test that the fan functions, but left the bridging piece on. Assume you mean egine fan and not interior one?
