HI I have fitted a set of AU thermo fans to my XB falcon and thought Ill get the job done properly so I got an Auto electrician in to wire them up.He fitted a Davies Craig thermo switch and wired it up straight to my battery.The trouble I have is that when I park my car for a short while and try to start it the fans are drawing all the power from the battery so the car wont start.Not Happy! Can any one tell me the correct way to wire them up?
Thanks Jack

As this wire is only being used to power the relay, it
