Cooling fans will turn on even if the engine is off in most vehicles. This is due to engine percolation. That means that your engine will actually heat up when the engine is off. As long as the fan(s) go off after a little while and you have no overheating problems then I think you are okay. And if not than Have you ever flushed the cooling system and replaced it with fresh coolant? The radiator may not be keeping the engine cool enough to cycle the cooling fans on and off. That's the only scenario that I can come up with.
