HH, while you were responding (thank you by the way)...I took a moment to just sit back and snooze. while snoozing my brain decided to work again and came to the same conclusion you did. wire two cube relays in parallel except for running the fan wires separate that actually run the fans. Kinda like a headlight relay harness for old cars to make the headlights brighter and run right off the battery. this will allow me to use the wire in the harness and just have to run one more wire next to that one for the second fan.

so I would run the fused fan power from the fuse box to the switch, then from the switch to the first cube relay, then jump off that to the same pole on the second cube relay. Then use one of those red wires you see in that picture above (8gauge I think) to run power from the starter battery post to the first cube and then jumper to the next cube (this wire is fused as well). do the same for the ground (no fuse). then use the current wire in the wiring harness to wire one of the fans off one cube. then run another wire parallel to that one off the other cube to the other fan. boom done.

what I meant by using the horn relay....was like taking it off the fuse box and wiring it up manually as described above. I don't plan on using the horn relay as the harness and relay on the horns now is WAY easier to just reuse and it was one of the few good wires left that had not been hacked on.

I can either wire manually and terminate wires myself to the cube or buy one of the prewired plugs and not use the shitty wiring (I agree it sucks) and just us the plastic plug to make a nicer install and run my own wires into it. I can probably just find the plug minus the wires on ebay cheaper I'm sure. I think kwikwire even sells then with wire and without.

the fuel pump is a MR gasket and it is either 3 or 6 amp, but either way I have it on a 16 amp switch. the fuse was a 25amp on the fuse block...but I'm replacing with a 10.
