Default AC Condenser fan stuck on

We had a flood in my area and I had to use my personal vehicle for work as many people were stranded without power. While driving I had to drive though some water.

Soooo...

Now when I first turn on the truck the AC condenser fan kicks on right away, its always running.

Could someone walk me through some checks to see what is going on? I downloaded a service manual but I still have no clue how to go about it.

I would take it to a dealer but the last time I did that was for my driver side door latch being busted and the door not being closed. I was called back a week later and told I had to pay $380 for the diagnostics and they still had not figured out what was wrong. I just ordered the latch and replaced it.

So I figured diagnosing this fan would approach the cost of the truck new, cant afford it.

I would take a guess and say a switch is stuck somewhere or something is allowing the fan to have power.

lets just check the easy stuff first...

Do you have Defrost on?

If you press the A/C Button does the light next to it come on?

Update your "garage" on here with your truck's info so we can help you out a little better.

The pulley on the A/C compressor will still "spin" no matter what, do you hear the clutch engaging on it?
