Do you mean without any thermostatic control? That’s pretty pointless, since half the reason you replace the stock fan is to remove parasitic drag. Having the fan run all the time simply add a huge load to the alternator, increasing it's drag on the engine. This will also be very hard on the alternator and battery over time. Do it right and get a temp control switch for the fan.

Check out my wiring diagram on this thread. It's pretty simple.
