if you had the twi black wire (shown as brown on the diagram) to seperate
relays then you made the mistake of not reading the diagram properly.
both wires must be be together, and uyou run 2 leads from each port #87 on
each relays, and attch them together then together with the black wire.
not seperation at all. the diagram is clear and consice, make sure your
wires at properly wires to the right connection, if in doubt there could be
a chance you have a bad fan, touch the battery poles with your fan wires...
you will see if it "turbines" or not (youll know what I mean by turbine when
you test it)

Once you have the wirring correctly done, and you get the same result, I
would check the OEM relay where the power is coming from.

=>ok, round 2.
=>
=>I havent gotten much chance to work on this since i get home from work
=>at dusk, and I have no garage/lights. But I did manage to get it "test"
=>wired. But its still not workin. I got the 2 relays and they are all
=>wired up like it shows in the diagram here
=><http://home.epix.net/~rhock99/pics/fan7.jpg> nothin. This of course
=>after I let it warm up and get to high temp. Then I started messin
=>around just trying to get a spark or some sign of current, and i
=>attached the original brown vw fan wire to the high speed relay prong
=>36 (where the red/white wire was) and one fan came on....kinda. it was
=>very weak. Anyways, thats the best I could do tonight....and here i am
=>once again confused. Looking at the diagram again, i know for sure i
=>had it all wired right, except for the two black flex-a-lite wires. I
=>had them each go to seperate relays. Im assuming thats wrong? What
=>other reason might there be for it not working, other than my stupidity?
