Fan only turns on when temperature sensor plug is unplugged

Issue fan didint turn on when overheating.
Trouble shooting process.
The fan works when powered by a 12v battery.
So wanted to check if its a relay is the issue so I bypassed the sensor but the fan didn't work. So I jumped the connectors to the battery on the bike directly, accidentally I placed one wire on the - and the other on the +, forgot the ground the -. When I did that the positive + terminal on the battery sparked, not sure if that stupid move damaged the ECU or a stuck relay? Now the fan only turns on when the temperature sensor plug is unplugged. Is this normal?
