Fans going nuts after coolant flush!

Fans going nuts after coolant flush!
Hey guys,
I just wanted to see if any of you had issues with your fans constantly turning on and off after a radiator flush. I burped the radiator already (twice actually). Do you think the thermostat isn't opening at all? The car isn't overheating (at least the lights not on), but the fans are literally turning on and off every second. It did not do this previous to the drain/fill/burp. Thanks in advance for any insight and God Bless!

You surely have an air bubble (that the fan sensor is 'reading').
Run the engine for 10 minutes. Hold the RPM at 2000 RPM a couple times to get the flow rate higher.
Turn the car off and let it heak-soak a few minutes. Then top-up the cooling system.
Monitor the coolant level for the next 4 - 5 drive cycles.

This is actually what I was kind of thinking to check next. Where exactly is this sensor? So you mean the overflow tank? Thanks in advance!
