lol sorry about that but its a good cause :P

when i say thin... umm open your bonnet and look at the engine bay relays, you will see the 4 wires that come out, 2 thick 2 thin... i hacked up a loom to get them. the wires im using are also loom wires and also thicker automotive wireing for the thicker earth and power wires.

with each relay,
1 of the thick wires is fused battery positive.
the other thick wire is to the thermo fan.
1 thin wire is (in your case) ignition.
the other is earth.

That's what I drew up and it overloaded

You will need to use a resistor if the relay inputs are geting 12V evidently

yeah i think the realy was also stuffed...

are there differences between the relays? i think one might be a 5 pin and the others a 4 pin.

ill try the A/C one and see what happens

Huggie there is no difference between the two except the 5 pin has a terminal for both the "on" and "off" position where the 4 only has a terminal for "on"

Your best bet is to chuck a multimeter set to read amps in series with the relay on the thin wire before it grounds

actually some 5 pins have a double up terminal (87).
what you drew up shouldn't have overloaded the circuit, you should not need a resistor. you more than likely have a fault somewhere.

the differences are

first diagram | new diagram
switch | earth
earth | battery +
battery + | thermos
thermos | switch

so those 2 listed are what change between each daigram

what a relay consists of is basically a coil of wire and 2 contacts. the coil of wire is magnetised and therefore closes the contacts and creates a circuit.
30 is B+
87 is Output (thermos)
85 is Ignition
86 is Earth

85 and 86 are your coil of wire (low current).
