07 radiator replaced, now fan clutch stays on?

[box986]

Just had the radiator replaced on my 07 V8 (67K) due to it leaking. Now the fan clutch stays on, even at cold start-ups. How could this be a coincidence? Now the shop wants $500 to replace the fan clutch, or $130 to replace the fan clutch temp sensor. They say there is no way that replacing the radiator has anthing to do w/the fan clutch but it's very weird that this problem started as soon as I drove away from the shop after the rad was replaced. Temp gauge shows normal temps. When truck is off, the fan turns easy by hand. Is there anything the shop could have done that caused this problem?

Thx

is the ac switch on the manifold line plugged in?

right next to the battery, right hand side, looking at the truck.

This is exactly what happened to me. Only I took the truck back, and they said it is working as normal. I followed your directions and let the mechanic know for future ref.
