I put my alt fuse where you putting your relay at. it works very nice and if you zip tie it down good, you really dont even notice it at all.

How many prongs are on the toggle switch? If it's 3, 1 is 12v (for the light on the actual toggle switch,) one for ground, and one for the accessory you're controlling.

Hook the fans up with some jumper wire to see which is positive and which is negative.. then hook a wire to the positive of each fan, and run it in to one wire, run that to the relay. Do the same with the ground; run the 2 grounds together in to one wire, and run that to the grounding point (you probably can use an existing grounding point since you're planning to mount the relay within a foot or so of a grounding point.)
