get a manual fan switch,this way you are always in control of when they go on and off.

IF the relay is OK and the plug just keeps working its way out just put a wire tie around the relay and wires and pull it tight .. if the relay is bad just go and get one from a salvage yard or buy a new one . also check inside of the plug and see if there is any corrosion in the terminals if so clean it out with some thing like a small pic or screwdriver ...

i went with a v-6 single fan! got it cheap at the junk yard. i wired it constent and it keeps the engine real cool. other option, drain all antifreeze and put in distilled water with water water. when winter come, either park it, or reinstall coolant.
