Default Dual Fan Help

Hello all,

In search of trying to keep my car running cool I cannot seem to get the Spahl dual fan set up installed correctly. Last year when my car was built the dual fan set up was installed with the separate relays/wiring schematic that Dewitts suggested. The fans would not stay on and the car would get very hot. I went back to the stock single fan and that worked better. I read recently that the stock wiring can be made to work with the dual fans now. Purchased anothe dual fan setup and my local shop wired them into the stock harness. Picked the car up last night and got the dreaded "service charging issue". The voltage dropped. Seemed like the fans were just to much of a load on the electrical system. Can someone please provide the correct installed wiring for this system or any suggestions?

Thanks

First thing I would do is check the terminal/connection at the starter. They may have failed to tightened it enough if they connected any wiring to it?
