Default 1997 Corvette cooling fan problem

my cooling fans are running when the engine is turned off and it drained my battery. Replaced all cooling fan relays and it is still doing it. Any suggestions

Here is the schematic for the fans:






Pull ALL of the relays out and see if the fans continue to run.

Post the results.
