A more relevant question might be--which direction are your fans spinning?

I've seen cars where the owners gooned up the fan wiring so that they spun 
backwards!   This is not a recipe for success.

It's easy to check--turn on the car, and since your fans run all the time, 
just hold a piece of paper in front of the grille.   It should be sucked 
RIGHT up to the grille and stay there.   If it blows forward, you've found your 
problem!
