I have two pusher fans that worked normally until recently. They both would turn on when the key is turned to run. Now as long as the battery is connected te fans stay on. Any idea why? And how to fix it?

I would check the relay they are attached to. Are the pusher fans on the bumper side of the radiator or engine side?
 
Since the car doesn't come with pusher fans the big question is how are your wired up?

The factory fans have power all the time the ignition is on and the ground side is switched by relays or the thermoswitch. You need to tell us how your fans are connected before anyone can help.

It's not likely a fuse. You usually fuse the hot side and if it blew you would be asking why they don't work.
Something is likely shorted.
