do you have the air conditioning on at start up?
Try turning off a/c and start car.

I had the same issue with my Porsche a few years back. Since the Porsches' radiator fans work independently of the ignition switch, I discovered the problem through a dead battery. Jags' fans work through the ignition switch so your fans won't run with the key off. My Porsche problem was a simple thermostat that screwed into the radiator. Replaced the thermostat, problem solved. Of course I'm speaking of the wired or electric switch, not the thermostat that regulates the coolant into the engine.

I would say it's either that thermostat switch, which typically fails in the on position (thank goodness), or the fan relay that has failed in the closed position.
