Default Been there with that scenario recently....

BD:

The doubles drawww to much juice. My car was delivered with both fans wired directly from a toggle and the second fan MOTOR did a meltdown, (before the relay melted)! Wire the fans independently with no other instruments in the equation except the starter switch. I did starter switch to fuse box/relay to first fan and a second relay to thermoswitch to second fan. Second fan kicks in at 180 (little trial and error to get temp dialed in). Then I put an over-ride switch toggled under the dash which allows me to kick in both fans simaltaneously for hot day traffic, when the ignition is shut down. They're giving you good advice and the over ride switch is a comforting safety factor since your already crawling around in there anyway. Solder the connections. FWIW.
