Question 2011 Tribute 3.0L V6 cooling issue?

Hi guys,
I just bought a 2011 Mazda Tribute (3.0L v6) and I love it, low millage and runs very smooth BUT after I start the engine once is getting warm the radiator fan goes in full speed and stays like that till I turn the engine off, also I noticed that the thermostat is not opening (upper hose is hot, the lower one is cold) ... I replaced the thermostat twice (1st after market and the 2ns one OEM from a Mazda dealer) ... still the same issue, does anyone knows what can cause this issue?

Thanks!
Mike

Find someone with a scan tool that can read live data, monitor ECT info, maybe more than 1 data feed & fan output mode data.

May have a faulty temp sensor or fan control relay/module.
