not sure what year your car is but sounds like youve got it in d check mode,mines a 94 wrx and if you connect the two green connectors under the steering column then this will make the fans kick in and relays/solenoids go through there motions, not sure how the battery would affect this tho

Do the fans when the engine is running with the AC on, click on and off. On for maybe 10 sec then off for a bit?

.I was concerned when as soon as i switched the ignition on one fan would start straight away ,anyway i found when the aircon was switched off it didnt do it.It didnt cause me any more concern so havent payed it much attention since .
Sorry thats all i know.
