Forgive my ignorance.... As we all know that owning a Grand National can give you a run for your money.....so here is the latest issue. About 3 years ago a new 160 thermostat and f body rad was installed in the car along with a new temp gauge ( big mistake). I tend to keep my eyes glued to that gauge more than anything. I notice this more in the summer months the car gets a bit warm 190+ when cruising around. I do have a front mount inter-cooler so i figured that was causing not enough air to circulate etc etc. While cruising aound with the ac off the temp got past 210. put the heat on and came down to 190 while burning my feet. At this point im at wits end and I get on gbodyparts.com and order the dual cooling fans with relays. Modified the shroud to fit and finally got it in properly. Hooked everything up and it seemed to be working fine that evening. Plug and play right? switched on the a/c and both fans went on. Success!!! Day one with dual cooling fans. 88 degrees out not really speeding a/c off. Temp 195. 
10 mins later 215 on the gauge. Now im pissed. Pulled in the parking lot a/c off one fan on. put on a/c.. 2 fans on temp down to 205ish.
Day 2.. 80 degrees out 20 mins into the ride 190.. ac not on. pulled over.... One fan blowing on the left. Turned on a/c still one fan on the left blowing. This does not sound normal. Should both fans be on?
Im not the most electrical savvy person when it comes to my Buick and my good friend who owns a garage that only works on the Turbo T and the GNs lives about 700 miles away. I feel like an idiot calling for simple things. Im afraid im going to fry something and no one in my area really knows the car (should have never moved from Ft Laud). So guys Im asking for some insight on what I can do w/o doing damage.
The rad does not seem clogged, water is circulating. Im stumped at this point.
Please help.
Thanks
Anthony.
