I have seen a few cars that had the power for the fans wired thru the ignition switch--when the fans came on they and everything else suffered from low current. My method of solving these issues

NO reduced or underdrive pulleys----
Wire directly from alternator to relay for fans, use temp sender to ground the relay for operation, only run current to switch the relay thru ign. switch--this eliminates extra wire length amps the ign sw must carry and supplys the power for the fans direct when engine is running

A COMMON source of electric problems in vehicles and boats---bad grounds, remote battery locations, underdrive pulleys
