Hello

The fans are controlled by the temperature gauge sender unit on top of the water pump via the engine ECU

so for them to suddenly come on either there's a wiring issue on the relay socket , or a faulty relay or a faulty sensor

most likely is the fan relay itself is switching when it shouldn't so I'd say to pull it out and fit a new one as they are only a few pounds

the relay should be in the engine bay fusebox and marked up on the lid as to what relay is what
