well, called AAW, talked to Donny, and got my problem figured out. When I wired the car I wanted the relays inside under the dash. The AAW kit comes with an orange relay trigger wire from the fusebox, through the firewall, and to the front of the car for the fans. I used this for the #30 power terminal of the relay, instead of the #86 12 volt trigger terminal it should have been used for. This caused all the fan load at the relay to be run through the 30 amp fuse in the fuse box, basically eliminating the advantage of the relay completely. This is a good lesson as to the dangers for those of you who run electric fans without relays...............

Stupid mistake that could have caused major damage, so I was lucky. I want to thank Donny at AAW for the excellent support. I may have to send the fusebox back as it's apparently pretty difficult to remove these double barbed terminals. I'm going to see if I can remove them, otherwise I have to remove the harness from the car and either have it repaired or replaced.
