the main fan connector is on the driverside, right near the headlight.

ok kewl that helps a little but also the guy took out power stearing, A/C, and cruse control. so ther are a couple conectors on that side i think 3 or 4. could you or anybody maybe post a picture of what the plug-in looks like? ive been all over the net and auto stores and manuals and cannot find what it looks like. lol i jus want my radiator fan to be normal and kick on when its suppose to. if u can find a pic of what it looks like i would apreciate it! or i could post a pic and photoshop arrows to where the plug-ins are that are free? thank you much! im almost pulling my hair out over this lol.

I'm not sure what you mean by standalone? But the fans not hooked up to the A/C fan plugin, its hooked up to the one in this picture you posted which would be the regular radiator fan plugin

If you are not running an aftermarket ECU then it is possible that your fan relay is shorted or someone has jumped fan to ground in your diagnostic box.
