Reply to "rewiring the fan relays?"

Unless there is a diode installed.

No true. If a diode had been installed, the proper place for it would have been in the negative wire from the fan, which would have reduced the voltage to the fan by slightly over one volt.

A diode could be placed in any one (or all four) of the wires on the load side of any of the four fuses shown in George's diagram, or in the wires from the load side of the relays, or the negative wire from the fan. If placed in the fan wiring, the voltage to the fan would be reduced slightly. If placed in the relay coil circuit, it would slightly reduce the voltage to the relay's coil.

A diode is not needed with this circuit. If one is existing, it should be removed.
