Most of the fan controlers will come with installation instructions. I would recommend a staggered fan activation switch. That way it doesnt hit your charging system with allot of current.

OK,I'll check that out.From what I've seen a probe has to be installed in the radiator?How should I go about that?

Simple and effective. Been wired like this for 2 years and no blown fuses, no hot wires and only draws 38 amps when theyre both on full power (contour fans). I used a torqflo adjustable temp. unit. Great setup
Edit: i forgot to add on the diagram the 3A fuse i put on the 16 guage trigger wire to the relay

With the dual fans that most customers come in with.....it seems you guys mostly prefer the Sn95 fans etc. I have yet to see one wired properly safely.
In best scenario its recommended to use a 30amp fuse & capable relay for "each" fan.
This will eliminate the heavy amperage draw each fan will have on your electrical system and any electrical connectors. A risk of electrical fire is not worth cutting corners!!!!!!!! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
be careful; take the time and do it rite.
