90 white shop manual seemed vague as to when & how the secondary fan operates. Mine did not run when the AC was in use.
I installed a jumper wire to connect the two relay ground wires so that both fans start @ 228* or start when AC is selected. The AC works better (colder, sooner) & engine temps remain close to normal in traffic.
The fan relays are on a common bracket attached to the left side of the fan shroud.
I used insulated male/female butt connectors in the ground jumper wire. Connect in spring, disconnec in fall.

I would believe that the 2nd fan is supposed to run anytime the A/C is selected under 35 MPH.
You need to check out fan relay + wiring connector to see of it is compromised somewhere along the frame.
