I had the same problem, so I wired a fan switch in from the shoebox schematic and it has made all the difference. Listen to ZRALOU, she knows what she's talking about (brevity is the soul of wit).

i didnt do this fan wiring due to my theory, which could be wrong but it makes sense: the computer turns the fans on when it senses water temp getting to a certain degree, i think mine is set at like 180. if the motor is at this temp it will turn the fans on. if its not, it leaves them off. so if your engine is running hot, the the fans should already be on, you shouldnt have to turn them on manually. anybody agree?
