Jay, You must have a fan fail relay or a jumper or (The Fan Fail Fix ) to operate the cooling fans. If you will look at my web site you will see two different kinds. Someone may have wired them direct to operate all the time when the ignition is turned on. If so, this will put an undue load on the system and wear out the fans sooner and they may not be fused properly. If you have any cooling fan problems let me know.
