Haven't figured out why yet but something about being connected to the alternator on the one end of the wire was robbing the amperage from that line. I am not an electrician so I cant figure that one out.

I had to run a new wire from my battery (in the trunk) for the power supply. Having the battery in the trunk has been a serious pain in the ass at times.

It likely would have worked with the alternator running but obviously I want to be able to run the fans sometimes when the car isn't running.

Anyway fan issue resolved. Holy bajeesus.
cars suck sometimes
