If your vents are set to blow onto the windshield in any way, the AC compressor runs to dry the air. When the AC compressor runs, the fans run. This would be normal.

Try blowing air just to the footwells and see if the fans turn off. If not, you may have an issue.

The fans run anytime A/C is selected or being used. However they should be on low speed not high speed. Are you sure they're running on high speed?

What does "heat is on" mean?

Do the engine fans cycle?

Do they change operation if you enable AC?
