I have my radiator covered with four electric fans, with the lowers and the upper fans working in pairs.. I had to do some rework concerning the fan circuit. I have two thermostatic switches controlling two relays. I had to isolate the hot terminals at the circuit breakers so as the plastic holder just organized the breakers and wires but were part of the electrical connection not clamped. It had gotten hot and plastic melted making for even worse connection. I rewired the fans so they were thermostatically controlled and I had a double pole - double throw switch on the dash to override the thermotic switches and turn the fans on before hitting the an expected hot situation. I then used verry small indicator lights. Green lower fans and Red al fans. Ignition and master electric switches are involved. I used to have problem twenty years ago, with not killing master switch and come out to find the battery near dead. Now I use a Flaming River master switch located on dash, twist on and bump off.
