Start the car with the a/c and fan switches off. Then turn them both on, if your fans are working they should turn on.

Turn key to the on position without starting the car, then press the AC button and turn it to setting 4.

Because the fans pull air across the A/C condenser and Mazda just decided to have the fans run all the time if the A/C was on instead of doing some sort of fancy refrigerant pressure based fan control system.
