Well, I'm not really sure how to start. You are kind of all over buddy. Some of what you are saying makes total sense, some doesn't follow at all. I'm going with the possibility you are just making some coincidental observations, because if all you have stated is correct your car has a ghost. Every car made in the last 20-ish years turns on the AC when the HVAC system is set to defrost. With that when ever the AC runs the computer forces the radiator fan to run, regardless of ECT.
I believe the problem is a bad resistor pack for the radiator fan motor, unless you can provide us better information this is where I would start. Since this is a non-replaceable part, you will need to replace the whole fan assembly.
This video is the best one I have come across for explaining your issue.
