Default Radiator Fan

Okay, so i drove to South Carolina from Virginia Beach on friday night and drove back on Saturday night. Aside from that nothing special has occured. So the problem is that when i went out to my car this morning it was dead as all hell. So i caught a ride to work and when i got home i went and got a Battery and replaced it. As soon as the ground wire touched the terminal, the Radiator fan turned on. Mind you my keys were in my pocket. So that is wrong. Umm, what could be wrong. And as for a temporary fix, pull the fuse (if so which one), disconnect the battery everytime i get out, or unplug the wire going into the radiator which i believe is the power source. Will the car be okay to run without its radiator til i can figure it out. I probably need to replace the fuse. Opinions, options, ideas?
TIA

Also, could it be from the thermostat faulting out?

If you have no mods, it sounds like the fan timer unit

Well, i had the chance and weather above 15degrees to trouble shoot today. I pulled the relay and it stopped running. Put it back in and it didnt start. Started the car and it didnt come on until it was told to by the computer. Then when i turned it off it kept running. So i am sure it is the relay. I will replace it tomorrow when the part comes in. Stay tuned for another exciting episode of, "my car sucks"
