Using both fans off the same wiring? That may be too much load.

Use a 3.8L Taurus, Sable, Continental fan. It flows 9000cfm on high, and 5000 and low. Its a big upgrade.
Using a volvo 2 speed relay, controlled by VW thermoswitch, installed in a Saab 900 cooling t-pipe. Wire is flat out simple. Relay is straight gound/postive, the the 2 signal wire the thermoswitch. Thermoswitch goes to ground. Fan goes to relay.

VW thermoswitch and pigtail is from 2.0L 99-04 Golf, Bettle, Jetta.
